mushrooms caps with Pico and cheese on them being moved with the fork

At Ajpal, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. My goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

Delicious Taco Stuffed Mushrooms

I am a total carb-aholic.

It doesn’t matter what it is- chips, cheese, starches, breads…. give me carbs, and I’m a happy girl.

But my waistline is a lot happier when I cut them back- and I’m trying to re-introduce a lower carb diet, so I’m back to coming up with interesting meals to add to my repertoire.

Now- never fear fellow carb-aholics- I’m not going to eliminate them completely anytime soon- but I am trying to up my game a bit and eat some lower carb options as well.

One of my favorite things to eat (and keep myself interested in a diet) are tacos.

But let’s face it, other than scooping taco bowls over salad (which is still my favorite meal, ever) there aren’t a ton of ideas for eating tacos without, you know, carbs.

I decided to take another favorite- stuffed mushrooms- and put a taco-loving twist on them!

I think you’ll agree, these super-simple “tacos” are amazing!
