This delicious combo of chopped vegetables and spices is a great alternative for ground beef in tacos, stews, on top of salads, or anything else you can imagine. Mushrooms are a good plant based source of protein, and I've bumped up the protein content significantly more with the addition of protein powder. Feel free to leave it out, or replace it with any vegan protein powder if you desire
