Mushroom Tacos 🌮


You know life sometimes gets in the way of hobbies, health and....well everything. I have learned to take time for me. Self care is important but feels at times impossible.  So, one thing at a time.  I picked new up hobbies and now make time to do them.  I realized I had some old ones I used to enjoy and cooking was one of them.  Another thing I realized was that eating healthy is another thing I need to make time for. Again, one thing at a time, small steps. So my first step is to eat more vegetables. Add in some vegetarian options, less meat, lower fat and carbs. Decided to start with lunches.  The problem is I am not a huge salad fan. Today I went with soft tacos. Vegetarian tacos.  They were awesome and fit the lower carb, lower fat, veggie heavy criteria. They passed the husband test and even had a request to make them again.

And they are easy to make  

Ingredients:

6oz button mushrooms 

6oz baby portobello mushrooms 

1/2 c diced green pepper 

1/4 c red onion

In a pan over medium heat add oil  when hot, add minced garlic and stir fry for 1 minute   Add in mushrooms, green pepper and onion   Cook until the liquid in the vegetables start to cook out and the vegetables look a bit dryer

Split the mixture between the wraps   Top with remaining ingredients   Serve!
