Today, MealDiva is preparing Thai Portobello Mushroom Wraps.

Some of my favorite family meals are the ones that we eat with our hands. These Thai Portobello Mushroom Wraps are on my infinitely long list of beloved #WeekdaySupper recipes that my entire family enjoys. These wraps are filled with delicious Thai flavors –ginger, garlic, hot pepper flakes and cilantro. The hot pepper flakes bring some heat to the dish that is then cooled off with mint.

To get the party started, get your flavor ingredients into the bowl and combine. I tossed in a little extra Asian style hot sauce because I was craving some more heat but it’s not necessary.

Next, get your shallots and mushrooms into a hot pan and sauté for 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are cooked to your liking. Personally, I like my mushrooms almost crispy.

Once all of your ingredients are sautéed, add the cilantro, mint and scallions and toss it all together to combine. Yummy, yummy in my tummy! This is when I can’t help myself — I have to taste test it — and usually end up eating at least two spoonfuls –Mmmmmm…

Next, spoon the mushroom mixture into each lettuce leaf then fold it at the top to serve. I like to serve this dinner family style on two platters with extra soy sauce for dipping.
