Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the orange juice, diced chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir until well mixed.
  • Add the shredded oyster mushrooms to the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Allow the mushrooms to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Once the oil is heated, add the marinated mushrooms to the skillet, spreading them out evenly.
  • Cook the mushrooms for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • In a separate pan, warm your corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable and slightly toasted.
  • Once the mushrooms are cooked and the tortillas are warmed, place a generous serving of the sautéed oyster mushrooms on each tortilla. Top with your choice of dairy-free cheese, diced white onion, fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, salsa, and hot sauce.
  • Serve your delicious Oyster Mushroom Tacos immediately while they are warm, and enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!

Notes

  • Don’t skip the marination step; it’s key for flavor.
  • Avoid overcrowding the skillet, which can lead to steaming instead of sautéing.
  • Use fresh ingredients for the best taste; stale tortillas can ruin the dish.
  • Adjust the heat of the chipotle to your liking; add more if you want it spicier.
