Directions:

1. Marinate the Portabella Mushrooms: In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup of olive oil and vinegar. Place the portabella mushroom caps in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the mushrooms.

3. Prepare the Tomato Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced roma tomatoes, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Set aside.

4. Roast the Portabella Mushrooms: Once marinated, remove the portabella mushrooms from the marinade and drain any excess liquid. Cut the mushrooms into strips and place them in an oven-proof pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to start the cooking process.

5. Combine with Tomatoes: After 5 minutes, add the drained tomatoes mixture to the pan with the portabella mushrooms. Continue roasting for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tomatoes are heated through.

6. Warm the Tortillas: While the mushrooms and tomatoes are roasting, warm the flour tortillas on a flat griddle until they are soft and pliable. This step ensures that your tacos will be easy to roll and enjoy.

7. Assemble the Tacos: To assemble each taco, place a quarter of the roasted portabella mushrooms and 4 tomato quarters in the center of a warm tortilla. Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese and fresh thyme leaves for added flavor.

8. Roll Up and Garnish: Carefully roll up each tortilla to encase the delicious filling. Garnish the tacos with thinly sliced red bell pepper strips for a pop of color and extra crunch.

9. Serve with Tomatillo Salsa: Plate the tacos and serve them alongside a side of tangy Tomatillo Salsa. The refreshing flavors of the salsa will complement the rich umami of the portabella mushrooms, creating a harmonious balance of taste and texture.
