Ingredients
- 4 large caps portobello mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 large leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 medium sliced tomato
- 0.5 medium sliced red onion
- 1 ripe, sliced avocado
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 teaspoons mustard
Directions
Step 1
Clean the portobello mushroom caps by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and gills to make space for the fillings.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
Step 4
While the mushrooms are marinating, prepare the vegetables: wash and dry the lettuce leaves, slice the tomato and red onion, and cut the avocado into slices.
Step 5
Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the marinated mushrooms on the grill, gill side up. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side until they are tender and juicy.
Step 6
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each mushroom cap to allow it to melt slightly.
Step 7
Assemble the lettuce wrap burgers: Place two large lettuce leaves overlapping on a plate to form a base. Place one grilled mushroom on top of the leaves.
Step 8
Top each mushroom with a slice of tomato, red onion, and avocado. Add a teaspoon of mustard for an extra tangy flavor.
Step 9
Fold the other part of the lettuce leaves over the top to form a wrap, securing all ingredients inside.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy the healthy, vegetarian-filled goodness!
