Mushrooms Two Ways Burrito delivers a meaty and fulfilling option to any warm tortilla of your choice. Lion’s Mane and Trumpet/Oyster Mushrooms seems to be the rave of things nowadays. I was excited to find both available at a local farmers market. Along with the addition of a fresh Bean Salsa and some added additions, I was extremely impressed on the final result of of this recipe.

Mushrooms

Lion’s Main mushrooms offer anti-inflammatory benefits as well as supporting the immune system, heart health, digestive health amongst others. While they are a bit strange to look at and carry a fuzzy look hence the look of a Lion’s Mane, once prepared they take on a meaty texture reminiscent of chicken. Trumpet/Oyster mushrooms also carry similar benefits which also include gut health, bone health and lowers cholesterol. Two great options to challenge myself to create a recipe worth sharing.

Doing some research on how to prepare mushrooms in different recipes. I decided to prepare them two ways to deliver two options in one. While I am not keen to frying alot of food, I went with creating a batter that infuses Turmeric as well since it is a warm spice and also carries inflammatory benefits. With a golden light crispy breading, the Lion’s Mane mushrooms took on a consistency of Chicken and was shockingly delicious. I chose to sauté the Trumpet/Oyster mushrooms in a light Soy sauce base with Onions and Garlic. Pairing both of these together delivered two different textures and flavors mimicking two separate options even though they are both mushrooms.

I love bright fun flavors and creating a fresh Salsa is a simple as it can be. Using what vegetables you have on hand determines the final result. Fresh Cherry Tomatoes, Cilantro, Jalapeño with the addition of a can of Beans for added protein provided just what was needed to bring the burrito together. A quick Avocado and Sour Cream Crema with a hint of spice from the Sriracha was just the perfect touch delivering a perfect recipe. Enjoy this Mushrooms Two Ways Burrito for Lunch, Dinner or a quick snack along side your favorite side!
