- 1 tablespoon(s) minced garlic
- sea salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoon(s) extra virgin olive oil
- 0.75 cup(s) Shredded sharp cheddar cheese (Step 3 Only)

Taco Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Brush each mushroom with olive oil and salt and pepper both sides. Place them on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes as you prepare the stuffing.
- Place the salsa (or diced tomatoes), and cheddar cheese (Step 3 Only) in a medium bowl. In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown garlic and set aside, then brown ground beef.
- Drain beef and return it to the pan over the heat. Add cumin, cooked garlic, optional dash of cayenne pepper and water.
- Stir until water has evaporated. Add the Step 3 cheese and salsa mixture until it melts into beef.
- Flip each mushroom and fill them with the beef mixture. Top with a little extra cheddar cheese in Step 3 and bake for 5-10 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender but still holding their shape.
- Serve immediately with a sprinkling of chopped cilantro.

These are soooo good!! I made them for a girls night and they were a huge success. Instead of the large portabella mushrooms I opted for the smaller mushrooms as they were more finger-food friendly. They were totally gone in a flash and I was even asked to bring them to future neighborhood functions.
