    Why This Recipe Works

    • This is a super quick appetizer that everyone will love.
    • The Tex Mex flavors are a tasty twist on classic stuffed mushrooms.
    • Air Fryer stuffed mushrooms cook quickly and easily.
    • You can stuff them ahead of time and then cook them in the air fryer when you're ready to serve them.
    • Ranch seasoning and salsa are mixed with cream cheese for a flavorful filling.
    • Taco seasoned breadcrumbs add even more flavor.
    Labelled ingredients on a table.

    Ingredients

    • Mushrooms - I use white button or cremini because they come similarly sized and they have plenty of room in the caps for the stuffing.
    • Cream cheese and cheddar cheese - these two cheeses make for a super cheesy filling!
    • Salsa - use fresh or store bought salsa for the Tex Mex stuffing.
    • Ranch seasoning - I use Hidden Valley Ranch, but you can make your own ranch seasoning
    • Garlic Powder - for more rich flavor in the filling.
    • Breadcrumbs - I use plain dried breadcrumbs.
    • Taco seasoning - Use store-bought or homemade taco seasoning to flavor the breadcrumbs.

    See the recipe card for the full method and quantities.

    Prepping Mushrooms

    Prepping mushrooms for stuffed mushrooms is easy, and it starts with choosing the right mushrooms. You want to select firm mushrooms with sturdy stems that can hold the filling without falling apart and ideally they will be about 2 inches wide across the cap. I use white button or cremini mushrooms.

    Here are the steps to prep mushrooms for stuffed mushrooms:

    1. Clean: Use a damp paper towel to gently wipe the mushrooms to remove any dirt. Avoid washing them under water as mushrooms are very absorbent and can become waterlogged and soggy.
    2. Remove the stems: Twist the stems gently to remove them from the mushroom caps, or cut them out with a knife. You can reserve the stems for the filling or discard them. I tend to stick them into a freezer bag (along with other veg scraps) to turn into vegetable stock.

    That's it! Your mushrooms are now prepped and ready to be filled with your desired stuffing.

    Use a damp paper towel to gently wipe the mushrooms to remove any dirt. Twist the stems gently to remove them from the mushroom caps, or cut them out with a knife.
