sesame & mushroom tacos.

I really wanted to make a vegetarian taco… and I always see portobello burgers, so I figure that mushrooms have a great consistency to replace the meat in a dish.   I’ve eaten a vegetarian taco before and I really missed the meat.  With these, mushrooms really did do a great replacing any kind of meat in a taco!  I put an asian flare on these with some soy sauce and sesame oil.  YUM!

Recipe:

• 2 8 oz. packages baby bella mushrooms
• 2 8 oz. packages shiitake mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons honey

• 2 small seedless cucumbers, spiralized or sliced thin
• sesame seeds
• pomegranate
• corn/flour tortillas

• Heat a large pan to medium-high heat
• Add olive oil and mushrooms
• Sautee mushrooms until tender – drain any excess water
• Add soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and ginger

• Assemble tacos – place mushrooms on tortilla and top with cucumber, pomegranate and sesame seeds 🙂 ENJOY!
