Poblano Mushroom Tacos with Chipotle Avocado Crema

I love mushrooms and I have been craving spicy foods this week.  These tacos are full of spice and bursting with flavor.

Recipe adapted from Food Network

1. Spray a nonstick pan with olive oil spray.  Heat onion and garlic over medium heat for 1 minute.  Cook whole poblano pepper for 1 minute.
2. Remove poblano pepper from heat and let cool.
3. Add mushrooms and coriander.  Spray with olive oil spray.  Drizzle with lime juice.  Cook for 5-10 minutes stirring often.
4. Slice poblano pepper carefully so you don’t burn your fingers.  Add pepper to the mushrooms.

6. To serve place a handful of spinach in each tortilla.  Add mushroom mixture.  Add cheese on top of the warm mushrooms.  Top with avocado crema.
