Ingredients
- 1 lb. white button mushrooms*
- 1 cup white onion chopped
- 3 medium roma tomatoes chopped
- 1 to 2 serrano peppers finely chopped*
- 3 whole cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot add the onion and sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté until cooked through. Stir now and then to help cook evenly.
- Add the garlic, chile pepper, tomato and salt and black pepper. Cook until the tomatoes have completely broken down. You can cover the pan with a lid if desired.

Notes
- You can use white button mushrooms. I like to use a mix of button with cremini mushrooms.
- Use serrano pepper for spicier dish or jalapeno for milder mushrooms.
