Instructions
- First prep your ingredients and get everything chopped small and then pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Then in a small mixing bowl add you dry seasonings and mix well to combine and set aside.
- In a sauté pan on medium heat add in the olive oil and the mushroom stems, yellow bell pepper and a pinch of salt cook for about 6 minutes.
- Next, add in the Mexican seasoning mixture but do NOT add in all of it. I add a little at a time to taste and you may not even use all of it. This mixture does have some heat, so control that by adding a little at a time.
- Then add in your chopped tomatoes and cook for about 3 more minutes and stir everything to combine. At this point check to see if you need more of the dry seasoning blend as well.
- Next, add in your shredded cheese and mix until the cheese is melted and then turn off the heat and set aside.
- Then spray the bottom of a baking dish with some extra virgin olive oil spray and add the button mushrooms and then also spray the tops as well.
- Next, with a small spoon fill each mushroom cap with the mixture and be generous you want these really full. :)
- Then simply top each filled mushroom with some more of the cheese blend and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
- When they are done they will look like this and the cheese will be gooey and melted. Then I usually transfer them to a paper towel or clean kitchen towel before putting them on a serving dish to get excess moisture off them.
- Then top each mushroom with a piece of cilantro or you could do avocado but this step makes them taste so good.
- Then transfer them to a serving dish and enjoy! I made these vegetarian but you could add ground beef or turkey and they would be amazing as well!
