These Poblano Mushroom Tacos with cilantro yogurt sauce are possibly the best tacos I’ve ever made.
The family has voted and everyone LOVES these tacos. Well, everyone except the select mushrooms haters, but you know, whatever. These are so good that I made them three times in the last two weeks. Once to test the recipe, then another time to photograph, and then again last Monday after snowboarding. Everyone was starving and we decided mushroom tacos had to be made. I made chicken and lamb tacos as well, since there are a handful of people who do not like mushrooms, and because my parent’s house was packed with people at that time and we needed tons of food.
Even with the chicken and lamb tacos on the table, the mushroom tacos were the favorite by far. These are honestly the best, so healthy AND ready in just about thirty minutes… Which brings me to my next topic.
I’m thinking of starting a new series on the blog for 2017. What do you guys think of Mondays being 30-Minute Meals Monday? Meaning all the recipes I share on Mondays will all be able to be made in 30 minutes or less. Thoughts? Comments? Concerns? I’m kind of thinking it’s a good idea, but slightly worried I might not be able to hold it up all year. Hmmm, I do kind of like a challenge though…and I know you guys love quick and healthy weeknight dinners…sounding more and more like it could be a good match. Let me know what you think!
With the shift into the New Year, my mind became filled with so many ideas. I only wish I had all the time in the world to execute them! Currently I’m knee-deep in putting the finishing touches on the cookbook photos. I should have finished them up last week, but I’m going a little overtime, as I am semi-insane about these photos and insist that every last one be perfect. Definitely struggling a little, I am my own worst critic, but fingers crossed that all of the book’s photos will done and sent off to my editor by the end of the month.
Once those are in, the bulk of the huge work will be done. Then before you know it, it will be fall again and I will finally get to share all these recipes, stories and photos with you guys. Both excited and crazy nervous!
In daily life news, my weekend was busy but great. I took the night off on Friday and went out with my family for my mom’s birthday. Her birthday isn’t until the 11th, but we decided to celebrate while some of my brothers were still in town. We had a great time, and it was nice to spend some real-time with my family and away from my computer…and kitchen. Somehow we managed to get the entire restaurant to sing Happy Birthday to my mom. Granted it’s a small bar/restaurant called Angel’s Hollow in Breckenridge, but I’m pretty sure she loved every minute of it. It was a site to see for sure, but so fun. The night was topped off with chocolate cupcakes, I mean, obviously.
The rest of the weekend was spent making pancakes while the snow piled up outside (it’s still snowing, we may see 3 feet!), and cramming in as much photo taking as possible. What did you guys do?
Sorry, I got way off topic there…let’s get back to these incredible poblano mushroom tacos.
Mushrooms in place of beef, is truly the best idea. I really cannot begin to describe just how good these are. The mushrooms get cooked up with some smoky poblano peppers, onions, garlic, jalapeños and finished with lime juice. Simple but perfect. Now, because I love a loaded taco, you know that I had to add a slaw and a sauce, I mean I had to. My slaw of choice…pineapple kale. SO SO SO good. I mean, the kale gets massaged with lime juice and the pineapple adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the jalapeños. The slaw is not needed, but it really adds to the tacos, and I think completes them. For my sauce I did a simple cilantro yogurt sauce. Cool, tangy and perfect drizzled atop of these tacos. Put everything together and I swear you have the best, almost vegan, taco. I’m obsessed with them and will probably be making them a couple of times a month. <–truth.
Not gonna lie, these kind of sort of need to be you dinner tonight. I don’t mean to be bossy, I’m only trying to help you out, but you really should take my advice. Ok?

Cool. Cool. Happy taco eating Monday!
Holy smokes these are good. And the kale/pineapple does indeed complete them. A suggestion? Replace half of the creminis with thickly sliced portabello caps. Makes them ‘beefier’.
Oh yum! That sounds awesome! Thanks! 🙂
Made these last night and they were great! Taking the extra mushrooms and salad to work for lunch today with rice. Thanks for the recipes!
I am so glad you liked these, Sierra! Thank you!!
Okay, I cannot wait to make these tacos- they sound divine! Tomorrow’s dinner is now sorted, thank you very much. And 30 minute meal Monday? Yaaaasssssss, please!
I hope you love them Rita!! Thank you so much!
I made them and my husband really liked them he said “it doesn’t taste like mushrooms” which is a compliment from him lol
Haha that is good to hear! I am glad you both liked these, Bekah! Thanks!
Tacos are one of my favourite thing in the world. I have to try this recipe, all the different flavours and textures sound amazing.
Thank you Neni! I hope you love it!
These are so beautiful!!! I adore mushrooms and love their meaty texture, and don’t even get me started on cilantro-based sauces because I won’t be able to stop!! I love how much fresh, zesty flavour fresh herbs add and I’m salivating at the thought of these!
I am so glad you are loving these, Angela! Thank you!
These look delicious, and I can’t wait to put them on my Super Bowl menu! I can think of quite a few foods I’d like to put that sauce on.
Ooo awesome for the Super Bowl!! I hope you and your guests love these, Jane! Thank you!
These tacos look delicious! I love your idea of doing a series of 30-minute meals. That is exactly what need.
Thank you!!
Made it for dinner tonight. My family loved it! Thanks for another great recipe.
Thank you Dani!
These look absolutely delicious! I’ve been convinced, making them for dinner tonight. 🙂 What type of cheese would you recommend? I’m thinking of making these with a side of pulled pork.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of 30 min monday!
Awesome!! Thank you Payton!
I like 30 minute Monday and also meatless Monday! Maybe you could switch off between the two and sometimes combine them! I’m trying to go meatless one dinner a week and my husband doesn’t love mushrooms but I feel like he will love these. I Am making them next Monday so we will see!
I hope you both love them, Bekah! Thanks for the great ideas!!
I will definitely be making these tacos soon! I love the idea of 30 minute meals, but it certainly doesn’t need to be a brand new recipe every week if that would be too daunting of an undertaking for you! One idea would be to go through the recipes you’ve already posted and re-publish those that fit the 30 minute criteria.
That is an awesome idea!! Thank you Diane!
These sound absolutely incredible! You know, I’ve never thought to add kale to a taco but it sounds like a great idea! I’m such a texture person so I bet kale really makes such a difference! Also, love the idea of adding pineapple but then again, I think all meals should have pineapple!
Haha I am so thrilled you are loving these tacos, Caitlin! Thank you!
Yes, yes! More 30 minute meals! I totally support that idea.
Yay! Thank you!
