P & P veggie tacos

(sorry, i can't find where i got the recipe but it was somewhere online. somewhere fabulous where they had a thread of "meatless monday" dishes. If you see it somewhere let me know. These were quite tasty)

INGREDIENTS:

4 Poblano peppers

2 teaspoons olive oil

4 Large Portabello Mushroom caps, sliced

2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced and cut into half-moon shapes

4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

2 cups thinly sliced red onion

2-3 tsp cumin (I like, so I add more!)

2-3 tsp chili powder (heat preference)

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

3/4 cup dark beer

12 white corn tortillas (I used La Tortilla Factory- my fav!!)

3/4 cup reduced fat Mexican blend cheese

The juice of one lime

1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat broiler.

Cut poblanos in half lengthwise, and discard the seeds and membranes. Place poblano halves (skin sides up), on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil for 12 minutes or until poblanos are blackened. Place the poblanos in a zip-top plastic bag, and seal. Let stand 10 minutes. While Poblanos are roasting (and standing) heat a large saucepan over medium-high. Saute mushrooms, garlic, and onion until softened, about 8 minutes. Add potatoes and garlic, continue to cook until potatoes are softened, another 10 minutes longer. Season with cumin, chili powder, and coriander. De-glaze the pan with the beer and allow to simmer until potatoes are completely soft (but still holding shape) and liquid is reduced by half and almost completely absorbed- about 5-6 minutes. While mushroom/potato mixture is reducing, remove skin from poblano peppers and rough chop into sliced. Stir into mushroom mixture. Squeeze over the juice of one lime.

Assemble tacos by spooning a heaping 1/4 cup of veggie mixture onto each of two tortillas. Sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon cheese, cilantro, and additional lime wedges as desired. Repeat taco assemble for remaining servings.

  2. thanks for pointing out kam!! i meant to write on here that no i did not. you could use beef broth. i just used vegetable broth. and another tip, i would but the potatoes thinner then i did next time-like dice em instead of half mooning them. half mooning sounds funny.
