Ingredients
  

8 large portobello mushrooms (stems removed)

1 lb ground turkey or beef

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving (optional)

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the portobello mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, gill side up. Brush lightly with olive oil and set aside.

      Cook the Filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

        Brown the Meat: Add the ground turkey (or beef) to the skillet with the onion and garlic. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

          Add Remaining Filling Ingredients: Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Mix well and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

            Stuff the Mushrooms: Using a spoon, generously fill each portobello mushroom cap with the taco mixture, pressing down slightly to pack it in. Top each stuffed mushroom with shredded cheese.

              Bake: Place the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side, along with lime wedges for an added zest.

                  Enjoy your delicious Mini Taco Stuffed Portobellos as a fun appetizer or a vibrant main dish!
