- 2 portobello mushroom caps stems removed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion cut in half and then sliced into thin slices
- 1 bell pepper sliced into strips
- 2 tsp taco seasoning divided
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper divided
- ½ cup whole or refried black beans with lime divided
- 2 buns of your choice pretzel buns pictured
- 1-2 tbsp salsa hot
- banana peppers to garnish
- salt and pepper to taste
Heat a heavy cast iron pan on medium, while heating another large skillet on medium.
Lay the portobello mushrooms in one of the pans and add the grape seed oil to the other.
Heat olive oil until shimmery.
Add onions in to pan and stir well.
Flip portobello over and keep flipping sides every 4-5 minutes.
When portobello is dark and reduced in size by half, sprinkle with taco seasoning, salt and pepper, and cayenne pepper and cook on each side for one more minute.
Add peppers to pan with onions, stir. Let onions and peppers cook until nicely browned, about 15 minutes.
Spread beans on the bottom of bun, and then add portobello when cooked. Layer onions and peppers over mushroom, and top with a slice of an heirloom tomato, banana peppers, and a bit of salsa and add the top bun.
