At Alternative Health Care Concepts, we believe that gut health starts with real, wholesome food—and this dish checks all the boxes.

🥗 Why Portobello Mushrooms?

Portobellos are not just hearty and flavorful—they’re also gut-friendly. Rich in antioxidants, fiber, and anti-inflammatory properties, mushrooms promote a healthy microbiome and support digestion. When grilled, they develop a deep umami taste that mimics meat—making them perfect for plant-based tacos.

🌶 Ingredients

  • 3 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed and caps cleaned
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (we recommend Pompeian’s Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil for robust flavor)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
    Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup grilled or roasted corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • Corn tortillas (gluten-free if needed)
  • Optional toppings: avocado slices, cilantro, lime wedges, dairy-free sour cream, or salsa

🔥 Directions

  1. Marinate the Mushrooms
     In a small bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture onto both sides of the portobello caps.
  2. Grill the Mushrooms
     Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the mushrooms for 4–5 minutes on each side until they’re tender and have grill marks. Slice into strips.
  3. Sauté the Veggies
     In a pan with a splash of olive oil, sauté the peppers, corn, and red onion until slightly charred and tender.
  4. Assemble the Tacos
     Warm the corn tortillas, then layer with mushroom slices and the sautéed vegetables. Add your favorite toppings like avocado, a squeeze of lime, and fresh cilantro.
