Ingredients

• 1 Crusty Round Loaf of Bread (choose a firm, dense loaf)
• Pace Salsa (mild, medium or hot depending on preference)
• 2 tsp Oil
• 1 Small Onion, finely diced
• Baby Portobello Mushrooms, cleaned, stems removed & finely diced
• Taco Seasoning to taste (I used 1 Tbl)
• 1/4 C Water
• 1 Tbl Melted Vegan Margarine (or you could use oil) + Taco Seasoning for brushing the loaf
• Vegan Sour Cream (you could also make a homemade cashew cream)
• Green Onions

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Using a sharp serrated bread knife, make slices into the loaf starting in the middle and working outwards in 1 increments taking care not to cut all of the way through so it stays intact.
• Rotate the loaf and repeat. Set aside.
• In a saute pan, add the oil and onions and cook until softened.
• Add the diced mushrooms and cook for about about 5 minutes.
• Add 1/4 C of water and taco seasoning to taste.
• Saute until nearly all of the water has evaporated and the mixture thickens.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Once cooled, combine with 1/2 of a jar of Pace Salsa and if desired, vegan mexican cheese blend.
• Take spoonfuls of the mixture and stuff all of the cracks and crevices.
• Wrap in foil and bake for 10 minutes or until warmed through.
• Uncover and brush the entire loaf with a mixture of the melted vegan margarine (or oil) and taco seasoning. A pastry brush makes easy work of this.
• Top with additional vegan mexican blend cheese and return to the oven for at least another 10 minutes or until crusty and golden.
• Immediately top with vegan sour (or cashew) cream, more of the Pace Salsa and sliced green onions.
• Serve warm!
