Stuffed Grilled Portobello Mushrooms #healthyeating #mushrooms
These enchilada stuffed grilled portobello mushrooms are an easy vegetarian dinner recipe that is ready in under 25 minutes, and won’t leave you feeling hungry.
It’s that time of year again: I want to throw everything and anything on the grill. How about you?
Pros to using the grill: less dishes. You can work on your tan while it cooks. Less dishes. You get to wear flip flops. Did I mention? Less dishes.
So maybe I’m motivated by a singular, but very persuasive reason. And these enchilada stuffed portobello mushrooms barely make any dishes…just one bowl. You’re welcome!
I am so happy because Ben (aka Mr. Carnivore) has not been putting up a fight when it comes to vegetarian recipes lately. Probably because I always always ALWAYS make sure there is plenty of protein to keep us full. There is nothing worse than feeling hungry an hour after dinner, right?
These grilled portobello mushrooms are no exception. They are filled with corn and beans, enchilada sauce, and topped with cheese. So lots of protein! We enjoyed ours with a side salad, but on their own, the mushrooms are quite filling!
