Notes
- Mushrooms: Portobello mushrooms are preferred for tacos as they are “meatier” in texture, where cremini mushrooms get really soft when cooked.
- Grilled Mushroom Tacos: Leave the portobellos whole, and no need to remove the gills. Prepare as directed above and grill over medium high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side. Then slice into strips for serving.
