Vegetarian Tex-Mex With Portobello Mushroom Recipe Video
Thanks for finding me! This is a GREAT Vegetarian/Vegan meal that makes chili for four (you'll need to add 2 more Portabellas if you want to SERVE for 4, however), with some leftovers! Like all of my recipes, this meal is designed for TWO people, spending LESS than $10, and cooked in about TWENTY minutes. It's the 2 for 10 method!

Main IngredientVegetable
Ingredients
1 Green Pepper
1 Small Onion (around the size of a lemon)
1 Can Diced Tomatoes (with jalapeño if possible)
1 Can Dark Kidney Beans
1 Can Black Beans
1 Small Can Corn
1 Small Can Tomato Paste
2 Portabella Mushroom Caps (try for "bowl shaped")
1 Bag Tortilla Chips
Basics: Chili Powder, Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper, and Powdered Garlic
1 Pot, 1 Pan
Directions
1) Warm a pot over medium flame. Slap in some Olive Oil! We're going to sweat one coarsely chopped Green Pepper and one small Onion by placing it into the pot and cooking for about 3 minutes. Make sure to stir often. We're looking for the vegetables to get a little color to them, and get soft
2) Add 1 can of Diced Tomatoes (I personally like the ones already infused with Jalapeno Peppers), 1 can of Black Beans, 1 can of Dark Kidney Beans, and 1 small can of Tomato Paste into the pot. Give it at LEAST a teaspoon of chili powder, some salt, powdered garlic, and pepper. Stir to coat evenly. this is going to sit for about 18 minutes. And give it a stir every now and then, for Heaven's sake!
3) Prep 2 Portabella Mushroom Caps by removing the stems, brushing with a little olive oil, and giving them the Salt and Pepper treatment. Make sure you do this on BOTH SIDES.
4) Now warm a pan on Medium-Low flame and drizzle in some Olive Oil. Place the caps top-down on the pan. These should cook for about 3-5 minutes, depending on their thickness. We'll know we're ready to flip them when the edges start to drop and the mushrooms get soft.
5) Flip the mushrooms and cook them for the same time on the other side.
6) Remove and plate top-down. these are going to be "bowls" for our chili.
7) With 5 minutes left on the chili, throw in a small can of corn. You've been stirring, right?!!?
8) Plate and serve with Tortilla Chips. We're done, Sparky!

Thanks for the great cooking show - I am in the process of doing a show like yours and found your writing about starting the show a great help - I think that it will take me about six months to get where you are for quality production - My friends all think that it will just be a video of my cooking, as you pointed out it is not that easy.
Thank you

I tried this recipe. It turned out delicious. I was looking for reasonably priced food option and "2 for 10" has given many nice options.
One suggestion chnage the picture on front page with better resolution image. It hides your beauty
