Weeknight dinner doesn’t have to mean choosing between easy, satisfying, and made with ingredients you can feel good about. These Italian-Inspired Smashburger Tacos put a fun twist on two familiar favorites, using Plant Strong Portobello Burger Mix and Pizza Sauce to bring burger night and pizza night together in one simple meal.

The Portobello Burger Mix brings beans, whole grains, and plant protein to the table, while bell pepper, red onion, and pepperoncini add fresh flavor and texture. With just a handful of toppings and about 20 minutes from start to finish, it’s an easy way to turn the Plant Strong Dinner Done Bundle into something completely unexpected.

Ingredients

1 batch prepared Plant Strong Portobello Burger Mix
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
8 small corn or whole wheat flour tortillas
1 packet Plant Strong Pizza Sauce (from the Plant Strong Pizza Kit)
½ cup finely chopped bell pepper
¼ cup finely diced red onion
¼ cup sliced pickled pepperoncini

Directions

Prepare the Plant Strong Portobello Burger Mix according to the package directions. Stir in the dried basil and oregano.
Divide the Burger Mix among the tortillas, pressing a thin, even layer directly onto one side of each tortilla, nearly to the edges.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the tortillas Burger Mix-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes, until the Burger Mix is cooked through and lightly browned.
Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until the tortillas are warm and lightly toasted.
Top each taco with Plant Strong Pizza Sauce, chopped bell pepper, diced red onion, and sliced pepperoncini.
Fold and serve warm.
