Ingredients
  

8 medium Portobello mushrooms

1 pound ground turkey or beef

1 tsp taco seasoning

1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn, frozen or canned

1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, juiced

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently remove the stems from the Portobello mushrooms and scoop out the gills using a spoon. Brush the caps lightly with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet, gill side up. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top.

      Cook the Filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

        Add the Meat: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey or beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up as you go. Stir in the taco seasoning and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.

          Mix in the Vegetables: Add the black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes to heat through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

            Stuff the Mushrooms: Spoon the filling evenly into each Portobello cap. Top generously with shredded cheddar cheese.

              Bake the Stuffed Mushrooms: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the mushrooms from the oven and drizzle with fresh lime juice. Serve warm, garnished with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
