Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large Portobello mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 cup cheese (optional)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 2 cups fresh spinach

- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
- 4 burger buns or flatbreads
Instructions
- Prep the grill by applying cooking spray or olive oil and bringing it to medium high heat.
- Stem and clean the portobello caps, then drizzle olive oil on both sides. Season with kosher salt, pepper, and oregano. Grill each side for 10 minutes until softened and marked, adding cheese if desired until melted.
- Sauté red bell pepper and onion in olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper, for 10-15 minutes until browned. Transfer to a bowl and wilt the spinach in the same pan.
- In a blender, combine avocado, garlic, olive oil, parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and chili flakes. Season and blend until smooth for the chimichurri sauce.
- Warm the buns or flatbread, spread the avocado mixture on the bottom, layer with mushrooms, spinach, sautéed peppers, and onions, then top with the bun.
