3The Cook

    • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

    • Place the mushrooms and poblanos on the grill and cook them for about 10 minutes total, flipping your mushrooms halfway through and the peppers often, until softened and slightly charred.

    • Add cheese to your mushrooms and grill until melted.

    • To assemble, spread the avocado mash on one side of the rolls and the sour cream mixture on the other side. Add 2 mushrooms to each roll, top it with your peppers and tomato slices and serve warm.
