“Portobello” “Portabella” ~ “Tomato” “Tamata”! However you spell it, I think they’re great!  Portobellos are packed with meaty flavor and are similar in texture to steak.  Many vegetarians choose them for their versatility.  They can be sliced and diced and used in many things in place of meaty fillings like spaghetti sauce, sloppy joes, stir fry, enchiladas, ravioli filling, or just about whatever you can think up.  Besides being meatless, portobellos are a low calorie substitute and weigh in at a whopping 42 calories per cup!  
So whether you’re a vegetarian or a crazed carnivore, portobellos are sure to please any appetite!
Remove stems from mushroom caps and wipe caps clean with a clean damp kitchen towel.  Place caps onto a large baking sheet with sides.

Combine all marinade ingredients in a jar with a tight fitting lid.  Screw lid on tight and shake until mixture is thoroughly combined.  Pour marinade over all prepared mushrooms on baking sheet.  Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes.

Stir pesto and mayonnaise in small bowl to blend; set aside.

Preheat grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. 

Place mushrooms on preheated grill, rounded side up for about 4 minutes. Turn mushrooms over. Cover and grill until mushrooms are tender, about 4 to 6 more minutes.
Place buns open face down onto grill to warm and toast.
Place 1 slice of cheese on top of each mushroom and cover until melted.  Serve immediately.

Slather each roll with pesto mayonnaise and place 1 mushroom on each roll bottom. Top each with lettuce, tomato and onion. Press roll tops over and serve.
