Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 whole-grain burger buns
  • Lettuce leaves and tomato slices for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Brush each portobello mushroom cap with olive oil, then dip them into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
  4. Place the coated mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes until golden and crispy.
  5. While the mushrooms are baking, make the avocado aioli by blending avocados, lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper in a food processor until smooth.
  6. Toast the burger buns in the oven for 5 minutes if desired.
  7. Assemble the burgers by placing a portobello mushroom on the bottom half of each bun, adding a generous dollop of avocado aioli, and topping with lettuce and tomato. Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.

Notes

Note: For a vegan version, substitute the mayonnaise with vegan mayo and omit the Parmesan cheese or use a vegan alternative.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the portobello mushrooms in balsamic vinegar for an hour before breading them. If you prefer a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the aioli. These burgers can be served with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.

Leftover aioli can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat the burgers in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes if you have any leftovers.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chipotle powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

FOR THE PINEAPPLE SALSA

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, chipotle powder, garlic powder, cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add chicken thighs to the marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken, cooking for 5-7 minutes on each side until crispy and cooked through.
  4. Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together diced pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt to create the salsa.
  6. Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave until pliable.
  7. Assemble the tacos by placing crispy chicken on each tortilla, topping with pineapple salsa and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tip: For an extra kick, add sliced jalapeños to your tacos or salsa!

For a healthier version, you can bake the chicken instead of frying it. Just brush the marinated chicken with a little olive oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) until cooked through and crispy.

If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chipotle powder in the marinade. Additionally, feel free to swap the pineapple for mango for a different fruit salsa variation.

Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to maintain the crispy texture before serving.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
  4. Heat a small amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly fry each tortilla for about 10-15 seconds on each side until soft.
  5. Take one tortilla, place about 2 tablespoons of the sweet potato-black bean mixture at one end, and roll it tightly. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  6. Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil.

Notes

Tip: For extra flavor, add some diced jalapeños or chopped onions to the filling before rolling!

For a healthier twist, try baking the taquitos instead of frying them. You can also experiment with different spices; adding cumin or smoked paprika can enhance the flavor further. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.

Feel free to substitute the black beans with lentils for a different protein source, or add some shredded cheese to the filling for extra creaminess!
