Fire up the grill and make these amazing Grilled Poblano Portabella Tacos with Sweet and Spicy BBQ Sauce! They are sure to be a summertime hit!

I’m so excited to do some grilling this summer! After years of living in tiny NYC and San Francisco flats with no outdoor space, our new Dallas apartment has an awesome rooftop patio.

My husband and I have loved spending time on the roof chatting and enjoying easy grilled meals. It’s the perfect way to relax after a long day, and I’ve had lots of fun trying out new recipes on the grill.

Since Tex-Mex food is so huge in Texas, I thought it would be fun to give my tacos a barbeque twist.

These yummy Grilled Poblano Portabella Tacos are the result!

Grilled Poblano Portabella Tacos

The star of these tasty mushroom tacos is the Sweet and Spicy BBQ sauce … it is simply amazing. You will definitely be licking your fingers and everything else this mouthwatering sauce touches. And the best part is that it couldn’t be easier to make!

My secret ingredient? A package of KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce Mix & Dry Rub! I love how versatile this mix is. You can use it to make barbeque sauce, dry rubs, marinades, dinner sauces, and even dips.

KC Masterpiece Dry Mix comes in two flavors, Original and Sweet Honey. If you’ve ever wanted to make your own barbeque sauce, but weren’t sure where to start, you need to try it.

Each package comes with two (2 ounce) pouches and makes 16 ounces of the most delicious BBQ sauce. The best part is that you can make your sauce taste exactly how you want, and it’s a cinch!

Simply use KC Masterpiece Dry Mix on its own as a dry rub or mix it with anything you’d like, including water, juice, soda, beer, or bourbon to make a sauce or dip. Coffee, lemonade, grape juice, and pineapple juice are especially delicious. Yum!

How to Make Portabella Tacos

For my Grilled Portabella Poblano Tacos with Sweet and Spicy BBQ Sauce, I used the Original flavor two ways.

First, I mixed it with soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey to make a mouthwatering Asian-inspired BBQ sauce.

It was literally just a matter of stirring the ingredients together … so easy!

Then, I used more of the KC Masterpiece Dry Mix as a dry rub on my portabella mushrooms and poblano peppers before grilling them.

It added a ton of flavor, and I love that I didn’t have to measure out a bunch of spices.

Next time, I’m going to add some garlic and minced cilantro to my rub for even more flavor. You could also add a little cayenne or chili powder if you’d like to make your tacos super spicy.

After you’ve added the rub to the veggies, it’s just a matter of grilling them up! (If you don’t have a grill, you can roast the veggies like I did for my Roasted Veggie Fajitas.)

It only takes a few minutes, making this one quick and delicious meal!
