Ingredients
  

For the Tacos:
  • 16 ounces Oyster Mushrooms ends trimmed and shredded
  • 1/4 cup Orange Juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil for cooking and marinating
  • 1 piece Chipotle Pepper in adobo, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon Adobo Sauce from the canned chipotle
  • 2-3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • Kosher Salt to taste
  • 8-12 pieces Corn Tortillas or preferred tortillas for serving

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving platter

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, avocado oil, diced chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, and a pinch of kosher salt. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Add the shredded oyster mushrooms to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Allow them to marinate for about 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of avocado oil. Once hot, add the marinated oyster mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Warm your corn tortillas in another skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
  5. Spoon the sautéed mushrooms onto each tortilla, and top with your favorite garnishes like dairy-free cheese, onion, cilantro, avocado, salsa, and hot sauce.
  6. Arrange the tacos on a serving platter, and serve immediately while they're warm.

Notes

  • Don't skip the marinating step; it infuses the mushrooms with flavor.
  • Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure proper sautéing.
  • Warming tortillas is essential for better texture.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, as flavor absorption can vary.
