Here’s everything you’ll need to make the greatest mushroom recipe ever:
- Olive oil (or your favorite cooking oil)
- Red onion
- Jalapeño peppers
- Roma tomatoes
- Champiñones (white button mushrooms) – Some people don’t like to wash them but I do!
- The seasoning: Kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder
- And chopped cilantro

- In a large skillet or pan, heat oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the onions and jalapeños and sautée for 3 minutes or until they start to get soft.

Serving Suggestions
My husband likes to have some kind of meat with his meals and we add some grilled or sauteed shrimp to his dish. For me? I like to eat them as is!
These Champiñones go perfect with a side of refried beans, Mexican rice, served as tacos, with chicken, as a fill for enchiladas or as a side dish for Bistec Ranchero or even with just some crusty bread.
Another great idea is to serve as an appetizer! On top of tostadas, or a piece of sliced baguette and serve as tapas. Sooo good!
Either way you choose to serve them, they will be a hit!
How to Store
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Let the mushrooms cool completely. Then place in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
- To reheat: Reheat in the microwave on high for 60-90 seconds.
