Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, pasilla peppers, red bell pepper, and sweet onions. Sauté for about 7-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Molcajete

    If using a lava bowl (molcajete), preheat it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to ensure it's hot before serving.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the vegetables are cooked, carefully transfer them into the preheated molcajete or lava bowl. Serve immediately with warm flour tortillas, cooked rice, cooked beans, sour cream, and salsa fresca on the side.
