Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4-6 tacos
Ingredients
- 4 portobello mushrooms
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Tortillas, for serving
Instructions
- Clean portobello mushrooms by gently wiping with a damp cloth. Remove stems and slice into 1/2-inch thick strips.
- Prepare marinade by mixing 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
- Place mushroom strips in marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
- While mushrooms marinate, prepare mango black bean salsa by combining diced mango, drained black beans, chopped cilantro, lime juice, diced red onion, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix gently and set aside.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush grates with oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill marinated mushroom strips for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they develop nice char marks and become tender.
- Warm corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for 30 seconds on each side.
- Assemble tacos by placing grilled mushroom strips on tortillas, topping with mango black bean salsa.
- Garnish with extra cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and optional hot sauce if desired.
- Serve immediately while mushrooms are hot and tortillas are warm.
Tips
- Choose the Right Mushrooms: Look for fresh, firm portobello mushrooms with a rich, dark color. This ensures maximum flavor and texture in your tacos.
- Marinate for Flavor: Don’t rush the marination process! Letting the mushroom strips soak in the marinade for 15-20 minutes allows them to absorb all those delicious spices.
- Grill with Care: Preheat your grill or grill pan properly and brush it with oil to prevent sticking. Grill the mushrooms until they have nice char marks, which adds to the flavor and visual appeal.
- Customize the Salsa: Feel free to add other ingredients to your mango black bean salsa, like diced avocado or jalapeños, for an extra kick or creaminess.
- Warm Tortillas: Always warm your tortillas before assembling the tacos. This enhances their flavor and makes them more pliable for easier folding.
- Serve Immediately: These tacos are best enjoyed fresh off the grill. Serve them right away while the mushrooms are hot and the tortillas are warm for the ultimate experience.
