Portobello Mushroom Tacos

Grilled mushrooms make a great filling for any number of wraps or tacos, and they’re so flavorful that you don’t need a lot to accompany them.

• 12 corn tortillas
• 1 batch Grilled Portobello Mushrooms, cut into ¾-inch-wide strips (see below)
• 1 recipe Salsa Verde (or your favorite homemade or prepared salsa)
• Diced red onion
• Shredded romaine lettuce

Heat the tortillas one at a time on a dry, nonstick skillet over medium heat, turning frequently, until they are soft and pliable.

To serve, put a few of the mushroom strips in the center of a tortilla and top with some of the salsa verde. Garnish with the red onion and romaine lettuce.

Fold the tortilla in half over the filling. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.

GRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Combine the soy sauce, brown rice syrup, garlic, ginger, and pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Place the mushrooms stem side up in a baking dish.

Pour the marinade over the mushrooms and let marinate for 1 hour.

Pour excess marinade off of the mushrooms, reserving the liquid, and place the mushrooms on the grill. Grill each side for 4 minutes, brushing with the marinade every few minutes.
