Prep time: 15 | Cook time: 20 | Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 2 large portobello mushrooms
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms and discard.
3. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
4. Add the portobello mushrooms to the bowl and turn to coat.
5. Let the mushrooms marinate for at least 30 minutes.
6. Place the portobello mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Roast the mushrooms for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and browned.

Why It Works

• The marinade helps to tenderize the mushrooms and gives them a flavorful crust.
• The high heat of the oven helps to caramelize the mushrooms and give them a slightly crispy exterior.
• The mushrooms are roasted until they are tender and browned, but not overcooked.
• The tacos can be customized to your liking with your favorite toppings.
