Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Combine all Green Chili Crema ingredients in a blender and blend until creamy. Refrigerate.
  2. Combine taco seasoning ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to incorporate.
  3. Use damp paper towels to remove any dirt from mushrooms and dice into 1/2” pieces. This will look like a lot of mushrooms--remember that they reduce when cooked!
  4. Heat a large skillet to medium and add avocado oil. When oil moves quickly around the pan, add mushrooms. Cook, stirring every few minutes, until mushrooms are noticeably smaller and have caramelized edges, 12-15 minutes.
  5. Add ⅓ cup water, beans and your taco spice mixture, and toss to evenly coat. Cook another 3-5 minutes, until no liquid remains in the pan. Taste for more salt and add as you like.
  6. Assemble Salads: for each bowl, add a generous amount of romaine. Top with a scoop of portobello mushroom ‘taco meat’ and any other toppings you like, plus a generous amount of Chipotle Crema. I also like to drizzle on some red wine vinegar and avocado oil, with pinches of salt and pepper.

Notes

Leftover taco mixture will keep tightly sealed in the fridge up to 5 days or frozen 3 months. Reheat in a saucepan with some water or in the microwave.
