Easy Beef Taco Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

0

I make this hamburger helper style chopped meat recipe all the time for my kid’s tacos because it’s quick and hella delicious. However, this low carb and keto friendly portobello mushroom cap version is so much lighter and gluten free! The meat is seasoned to perfection with the usual taco spices. The toppings consisting of melted cheddar cheese, seasoned tomatoes and avocados, hit all the right spots. Don’t forget the fresh cilantro garnish on top (like I did) – it still tasted great!
