PORTOBELLO & POBLANO TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE RANCH DRESSING

 
 
 
 
As you already know, we love tacos in this house.  My husband can eat tacos everyday.  I recently and amazingly enough, had a version of these tacos at Rubios.  I knew my husband would love these So, for him, I made my these very tasty Portobello & Poblano Chilli tacos with a vegan chipolte ranch dressing.  The dressing is fabulous and super easy too! 
 
 
 
 
 
The ingredients are simple for the tacos.  I love the mix of bright colors.
 

PORTOBELLO AND POBLANO TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE RANCH DRESSING

 
INGREDIENTS
 
For the tacos cut equal amounts of the following:
 
Portobello mushrooms, sliced
Poblano chillis, sliced
Red onions, sliced
Tomatoes, sliced
Cilantro, chopped for garnish
Avocado, sliced for garnish
Red bell peppers, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
 
First sautee the poblano chillies, red onions and red bell peppers for 5 minutes in the olive oil.  Add in the tomatoes, mushroom, cumin, salt and pepper and cook for 2 more minutes.
 
Warm up the tortilla on an open flame.  An optional step is to add a small slice of non dairy cheese in the middle of the tortilla until its slightly melted.  Plate the tortilla with the vegetables.  Add in the avocado, cilantro, and drizzle with the chopolte ranch.  Super tasty!
