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

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.
