Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large caps portobello mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large avocado
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 4 breads rolls (vegan)
- 1 cup refried beans (vegan)
- 1 large ripe tomato
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 jalapeño
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 4 lettuce leaves
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, lime juice, smoked paprika, and garlic powder to create the marinade.
Clean the portobello mushrooms and remove the stems. Place them in a dish and pour the marinade over, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the mushrooms marinate, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, and add a pinch of salt and pepper.
Slice the tomato and red onion thinly. Deseed and slice the jalapeño. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are tender and slightly charred. Once cooked, remove from heat and slice each mushroom cap into strips.
Warm the vegan refried beans on the stove or in the microwave.
Cut the vegan bread rolls open lengthwise and lightly toast them if desired.
To assemble the tortas, spread a layer of refried beans on the bottom half of each roll.
Top with lettuce leaf, tomato slices, onion slices, jalapeño slices, and sliced mushrooms.
Spread mashed avocado on the inside of the top half of each roll.
Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top of the filling and cover with the top half of the roll.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Mexican Torta!
