I had a request recently for vegetarian tacos. I make a lovely version with faux ground beef, but I thought my recipe for grilled portobello mushroom tacos would go over much better. This recipe is insanely easy to make - 20 minutes and dinner's on the table. The salsa verde is nice and spicy. If you prefer a more mild taste, exchange the poblano for a regular green pepper. This dish is high in good, heart-healthy fats and fiber, and low in sodium.

Preheat grill or grill pan. Meanwhile marinate mushrooms by mixing oil, balsamic and 1 tsp pepper in a shallow dish. Place mushrooms in marinade and coat. Set aside.
To make salsa verde, put the tomatillos, poblano, cilantro, onion, garlic, sugar salt and remaining 1 tsp black pepper in a processor and process until smooth.
