Ingredients

• 16 large caps Button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 200 grams Ground beef
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Wipe clean the mushroom caps with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Carefully remove the stems to create space for the filling. Set the caps aside.

Step 3

Chop the mushroom stems finely and set them aside for the filling.

Step 4

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped mushroom stems, tomato paste, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Place the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, cavity-side up. Spoon the beef filling generously into each mushroom cap.

Step 9

Top each stuffed mushroom with shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of lime juice over each mushroom. Enjoy!
