This recipe lets mushrooms shine, turning them crispy and meaty-almost like carnitas-topped with a creamy, savory peanut butter and serrano salsa.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Mushrooms:
1 lb. oyster mushrooms, brushed clean
1 cup avocado oil or grapeseed oil
2 large garlic cloves, smashed, peeled
2 large or 4 small dried bay leaves
Zest of 1 small lime
1 tsp. smoked paprika
Kosher salt
Tacos:
8 (6") or 12 (4") corn tortillas
Salsa Guille (see recipe; for serving)
½ medium white onion, finely chopped
1 avocado, sliced or chopped
6 radishes, trimmed, halved if large, thinly sliced
½ cup finely chopped cilantro
1 lime, quartered

Steps:

  • Mushrooms:
  • Shred mushrooms by pinching edge of caps and pulling apart all the way to the stem, like pulling string cheese. (Shreds needn't be uniform; the thinner strips will get crispier while the thicker ones will remain more meaty.)
  • Pour oil into a cold medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot; add garlic and bay leaves. Set over high heat and cook until garlic is golden, about 5 minutes. Remove garlic and bay leaves with a slotted spoon; discard. Reduce heat to medium-high.
  • Working in batches, fry mushrooms in garlic oil, tossing once or twice, until thinner pieces are browned and crisp but thicker pieces are still tender and meaty, 6-8 minutes. (Reduce heat if mushrooms are crisping too quickly.) Using a slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to a wire rack or paper-towel-lined baking sheet and let drain.
  • Transfer mushrooms to a medium bowl, add lime zest and paprika, and season with salt. Toss to evenly coat. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
  • Tacos:
  • Heat a comal or large skillet over medium. Working in batches, toast tortillas until they begin to inflate, about 2 minutes then turn over and cook on other side until lightly charred in spots, about 2 minutes. Wrap tortillas in a kitchen towel to keep warm until ready to serve.
  • To assemble tacos, spoon mushroom filling down center of a tortilla. Top with a blanket of salsa, then scatter onion, avocado, radishes, and cilantro over. Finish with a generous squeeze of lime.

I thought the tacos were a bit dry. I would have liked them more if they had been served with a sauce.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but these tacos were surprisingly good. The salsa guajillo added a lot of flavor.

The tacos were great, but I think they would have been even better if I had grilled the mushrooms instead of pan-frying them.

I thought the recipe was a bit too complicated. I think it would have been easier if there were fewer steps.

The tacos were good, but the salsa guajillo was a bit too spicy for me. I think I would have liked it better if it had been milder.

These tacos were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some additional spices.

These tacos were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought salsa guajillo, and it worked just fine. The tacos were flavorful and filling.

I'm not a vegan, but I really enjoyed these tacos. The mushrooms were surprisingly meaty, and the salsa guajillo was delicious. I would definitely make these again, even if I wasn't trying to eat less meat.

I love the idea of using mushrooms in tacos! This recipe is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The salsa guajillo is also a nice touch. It adds a bit of heat and smokiness to the tacos.

These pulled mushroom tacos were a huge hit at my last Taco Tuesday party! The mushrooms had a fantastic texture, and the salsa guajillo added a delicious smoky flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.
