• 1 tomato, sliced thinly
• 4 wheat hamburger buns
• 3 tablespoons margarine

• 9 flip mushroom caps over and cook for 5 minutes.
• 10 when the portabello caps are tender/soft to the touch, they'll be finished.
• 11 using all of the ingredients, layer your portabello cap on a hamburger bun (wheat is preferred, and vegan-friendly).
