Oyster Mushroom Tacos
Description
This recipe uses oyster mushrooms torn into thin strips and coated in a flavorful marinade containing garlic, chipotles in adobo, soy sauce, cumin, smoked paprika, sugar, and seasoning. After marinating briefly, the mushrooms are sautéed until golden brown, developing a meaty texture and rich smoky flavor from the chipotle and spices. Warm corn tortillas serve as the vehicle for these mushrooms, creating handheld tacos.
Toppings like avocado, fresh jalapeños, pico de gallo, pickled onion, and cilantro add layers of freshness, creaminess, and heat to complement the smoky filling. These tacos can work as light meals or appetizers with bright, balanced flavors and a variety of textures.
Ingredients
- 14 oz oyster mushrooms
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 chipotles in adobo
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 corn tortillas
Toppings (optional)
- 1 avocado
- jalapeños
- Pico de Gallo
- pickled onion
- cilantro fresh
Instructions
- Using your hands, gently pull the mushrooms apart into long, thin strips.
- In a blender, combine the garlic, chipotle peppers, soy sauce, cumin, smoked paprika, sugar, black pepper, and salt. Blend until you have a well combined sauce.
- Pour the marinade over the prepared mushrooms. Mix until all the mushroom strips are fully coated with the marinade. Let them sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat up 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated mushrooms.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Warm up your tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat. Then, fill each tortilla with a generous amount of the cooked mushrooms.
- Top with tomato pico de gallo, creamy guacamole, pickled onions, and sliced jalapenos.
