Recipe For Vegan Mushroom Carnitas Tacos

olive oil

orange juice (1 large orange)

Worcestershire sauce

cumin

oregano

coriander

garlic powder

tsp kosher salt

lb mushrooms

tortillas

lime wedges

avocado

cilantro leaves (chopped (or not))

red cabbage (thinly shredded)

white or red onion (thinly chopped)

onion

radish (thinly sliced)

Preheat oven to 400F/200C degrees.

In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, orange juice, Worcestershire sauce, spices, garlic and salt. Set aside.

Prepare the mushrooms. Slice the caps off and cut them into very thin slices. Then, using your fingers, pinch the stems and shred them into pieces - some thick, some thinner to mimic shredded meat.

Transfer to the bowl and mix until every piece of mushroom is well coated. Arrange on a large baking sheet in a single layer, spreading them as much as you can.

Bake for 45-50 minutes, taking the pan out of the oven every 15 minutes or so to stir thoroughly. The mushrooms are ready when they are golden brown and a bit crispy on the outside (they shouldn’t render any water anymore and look a bit dry - but don’t worry, they won’t be!). They will reduce in size a lot.

While the mushrooms are cooking, char the tortillas and prepare the taco toppings.

Take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly before serving in tortillas, with your toppings (or set up a “taco bar” on the table, where everyone can build their own tacos with their favorite toppings).

Mushroom Chorizo Tacos are a quick and delicious taco recipe that is easy to make with very few ingredients; you won&#x27;t believe how tasty they are!

cilantro (1/2 cup)

Salt and pepper

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees

Place tortillas on a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper

Cook on medium-low for 5 minutes on each side

Boil 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup in the microwave or on a stovetop in a pan

I'm not vegetarian and this was my first time eating or making mushroom tacos. But my husband and I loved these so much!!! Definitely good one to have when mushrooms are on sale/in season or entertaining veg guests. It's a winner to me!

I omitted the jalapeno pepper because my husband can't eat spicy food. Otherwise, I made it as written. Absolutely delicious!!! We topped our tacos with avocado, corn and cilanthro. Thank you for this recipe, it is a keeper!!

Made this for dinner and it was soooo good! I cooked the mushrooms with the onions since I don’t have a grill and added an extra jalepano. I’m going to be making this on repeat!

This was so delicious, and super easy to make, even for a non-cook like myself! The mushrooms paired perfectly with leftover tortillas, slaw and sauce I’d made for shrimp tacos the night before.

Mushroom Walnut Taco Meat

oz cremini mushrooms (sliced)

½ red onion (finely diced)

garlic (minced)

tomato paste

½ tbsp soy sauce

1½ tbsp smoked paprika

tbsp cumin

salt

½ tsp pepper

Combine the walnuts and mushrooms in a high speed food processor and pulse several times to chop the ingredients to resemble ground beef. Making sure not to chop too fine otherwise the mushroom will become too soft and watery.

Transfer to a mixing bowl.

Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the diced onion until soft.

Next, add the minced garlic and walnut mixture to the pan and continue to sauté for 2-3 minutes.

Combine the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.

Sauté for another 3 minutes to cook completely.

Adjust seasoning to taste.

I keep meaning to try this but never got around to it until now! And I'm so glad I did - this was delicious! Thanks for the recipe.

Using walnuts and mushrooms as the "meaty" part for tacos sounds fabulous. Great for taco Tuesday or meatless Monday.

We had this taco meat for meatless Monday. It was so tasty. My kids liked it too

Woah! Hold up! This was amazing! We made it on Monday for an early Taco Tuesday and we all loved it. Thank you!

Such a great idea to make a meat-free taco filling using walnuts. Walnuts are so healthy for you and so underused.
