Mushroom Taco Filling

Mushroom Taco Filling

Mexican food is my all time favorite. I think it is a great idea for the family to go vegetarian a few nights a week so that the same meal is enjoyed by everyone. If you plan on doing this, this is a great recipe to start – just double the recipe. Molly’s phe tolerance is not that high, so we typically all have one taco and a burrito. You can make your own soft tortilla with either CFL's tortilla #2, Malathy's multi-mix or but Siete at a health food store. You can get fire-roasted tomatoes in the grocery store. They are with the regular canned tomatoes (Muir-Glen is one brand). If you cannot find them, you can add fresh tomatoes. The Mexican Rice is a great way to help fill up without adding much phe. If you have the time, make fresh salsa and guacamole.

Simmer for 10 minutes, the liquid should reduce and thicken, but the mixture should not be completely dry. Add the fresh cilantro and continue simmering another 5 minutes.
