Vegan Oyster Mushroom Tacos

Here’s a flavorful recipe for Vegan Oyster Mushroom Tacos that showcases the meaty texture of oyster mushrooms. These tacos are easy to prepare and packed with delicious flavors.

Ingredients:

1 lb oyster mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Lime wedges (for serving)

For the Avocado Crema:

1 ripe avocado
1 tablespoon lime juice
Salt to taste
Water (to thin, if necessary)

Instructions:

Prepare the Avocado Crema:

In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice and salt until smooth. If it’s too thick, add a little water to reach your desired consistency. Set aside.

Sauté the Mushrooms:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced oyster mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and well coated with spices.

Warm the Tortillas:

In a separate skillet or directly over a flame, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

Assemble the Tacos:

Fill each tortilla with a generous portion of the sautéed oyster mushrooms.
Drizzle with avocado crema and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Serve:

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.

Tips:

Add More Toppings: Feel free to add diced tomatoes, sliced radishes, or pickled onions for extra flavor and crunch.
Make It Spicy: If you like heat, add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce on top.
Meal Prep: The sautéed mushrooms can be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve.
