Portobello Mushroom Tacos with Chipotle

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound portobello mushrooms,
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp chipotle puree
  • 1 Tbsp finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 cup finely grated smoked gouda
  • 1/4 cup toasted seeds

Instructions
 

  • Chipotle puree: Puree a can of chipotles in adobo sauce in a blender. Store remaining in your refrigerator for up to 1 month.
  • Remove the mushroom stems, chop them and reserve. If any of the mushrooms are large, scrape off the gills with a spoon and reserve. Cut the caps into 1/4 inch thick slices and reserve.
  • Preheat a heavy skillet large enough to hold the mushrooms in a single layer for about 2 minutes over medium high heat. Melt the butter in the pan, then add the sliced mushroom caps, pepper and saute until golden brown and caramelized, 8 - 10 minutes.
  • Cook mushrooms in batches to be sure they brown and not steam from overcrowding. Add more butter as the mushrooms cook, if necessary, as they have a tendency to absorb all the butter from the pan
  • Remove from the heat and mix in the chipotle puree and cilantro. Sprinkle on the cheese just to melt and serve immediately or keep warm utnil ready to serve
  • To serve, lay the tortillas side by side, open face and overlapping on a platter. Divide the filling equally between the tortillas and top with salsa and pumpkin seeds. Grab, fold, and eat right away.
