This Mushroom Tacos recipe offers a quick, easy, and flavorful plant-based dinner option featuring grilled Portobello mushrooms. Spice lovers can add smoky heat by brushing mushrooms with adobo sauce, while those sensitive to spice can enjoy them plain. Served with corn or flour tortillas, avocado salsa, pickled red onions, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges, these tacos deliver a vibrant and satisfying meal perfect for any night.

Ingredients

Mushrooms and Toppings

  • 4 large Portobello Mushrooms, grilled and sliced into thin strips
  • Adobo sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo, for brushing (optional, for spicy mushrooms)
  • 8 corn or flour tortillas, warmed
  • Avocado salsa (prepared separately)
  • Pickled red onions (prepared separately)
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Grill Mushrooms: Prepare the Portobello mushrooms by grilling them until tender and slightly charred as per your preferred grilled mushrooms recipe. Once grilled, slice the mushrooms into thin strips for easy eating in tacos.
  2. Add Spice (Optional): If you want your tacos spicy, brush the sliced grilled mushrooms with adobo sauce from canned chipotles in adobo. This adds a smoky heat that complements the mushrooms beautifully. Skip this step if you prefer milder tacos.
  3. Warm Tortillas: Warm your choice of corn or flour tortillas until soft and pliable. You can do this on a hot skillet or directly over a flame for a few seconds per side to enhance flavor and texture.
  4. Assemble Tacos: Place a generous amount of the sliced mushrooms on each tortilla. Top with avocado salsa and pickled red onions as desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges to squeeze over the top for a bright finish.

Notes

  • To make the mushrooms spicy, brushing them with adobo sauce is optional and can be adjusted according to heat preference.
  • Warming the tortillas properly enhances the taco texture and flavor.
  • Accompany the tacos with avocado salsa and pickled red onions for a balanced, flavorful bite.
  • Use either corn or flour tortillas based on dietary needs or taste preferences.
  • Grilling mushrooms brings out a smoky depth making these tacos satisfying even without meat.
