Ingredients

• 16 pieces large button mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 pound ground beef
• 0.25 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 0.5 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 cup sour cream (optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces jalapeño slices (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth. Carefully remove the stems and set the caps aside. Finely chop the stems and reserve them for the filling.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chopped mushroom stems, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onions are translucent and the mushroom stems are softened, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the taco seasoning, tomato paste, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly combine the flavors. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 6

Let the mixture cool for a couple of minutes, then stir in 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese and 1 tablespoon of fresh cilantro.

Step 7

Place the mushroom caps hollow-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Use a spoon to fill each mushroom cap generously with the beef mixture.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the stuffed mushrooms.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with sour cream, additional cilantro, and jalapeño slices if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your South of the Border Stuffed Mushrooms!
