These Ground Beef Taco Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms have all the taco flavors you love without the tortilla!  This easy ground beef recipe cuts the carbs but is big on flavor.

Hello friends!  I’m back from vacation and ready to share this NEW recipe for Taco Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms!  My Sausage Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms are so popular, I wanted to come up with another version of stuffed portobello mushroom caps.

This time, I wanted to give you a ground beef recipe, since I know you guys are always looking for ways to use ground beef!  And what better way to use ground beef than in a taco inspired recipe? But before we get to the recipe,  let’s answer all your burning questions about portobello mushrooms.

Which is correct: Portobello or Portabella?

Whether you say Portobello or Portobella, you are correct!  Both spellings are used, so say it however you like!

Can you eat the gills of a Portobello Mushroom?

Although the gills of the portobello mushroom are edible, they can make your food “muddy” and have an undesirable texture.  So I use a spoon to scrape them out before filling and cooking the mushroom.

What is the gill side of a portobello mushroom anyway?

The “gills” of the mushroom look just like they sound.  The gills are under the cap of the mushroom, and are usually very dark brown.  They can easily be scrapped out with a spoon.


These meaty portobello mushroom caps are stuffed with a taco seasoned filling of ground beef, beans, corn, onions and bell pepper.  Then topped off with melty cheese. Plus since it’s stuffed in a portobello mushroom, you won’t even miss the tortilla. These Taco stuffed mushrooms are great for taco tuesday or any other night of the week!

  1. I finally tried these tacos – Excellent taste and very easy & fast to make.
    This recipe is now on my list of ‘will make again’.
    Thanks for publishing it

    1. Hi Amanda, I’m not sure how they freeze – mushrooms have so much water in them they might have an odd texture after thawing. Let us know if you give it a try!

    Tasted amazing we eliminated the corn and black beans to make it more keto friendly and my husband loved it!

    A few substitutions. Didn’t have red peppers so used frozen green and jarred pepperocini. Added lots of thyme and oregano to the mix and some salt. Made in baby Bella’s. Delicious! Served with steamed broccoli and avocado slices.
