Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the portobello mushrooms and remove the gills. Slice them into desired pieces for tacos.
- Marinate the Mushrooms: In a bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, fresh lime juice, and kosher salt. Add the mushroom slices and toss to coat them evenly. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
