Roasted oyster mushrooms make an ideal substitution for meat in this plant-based taco recipe. Serve them with our homemade cashew crema.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice

  • 1 tsp granulated sugar

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 small red onion, sliced

  • 1.5 kg oyster mushrooms, coarsely torn

  • 1/4 cup canola oil

  • 1 tbsp Tex-Mex seasoning mix, such as Club House, or homemade (recipe link below)

  • 12 corn or flour tortillas

  • 2 avocados, sliced

  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves

  • Pickled jalapenos, optional

  • 1 batch Cashew Crema, for serving (recipe link below)

Instructions

  • POSITION racks in top and bottom thirds of oven, then preheat to 425F.

  • COMBINE lime and orange juices with sugar and salt in a small saucepan set over high. Boil, then remove from heat and stir in onion. Set aside.

  • TOSS mushrooms with oil and seasoning in a large bowl. Divide between 2 large baking sheets and spread into one layer. Roast, stirring and switching sheets halfway through, until golden-brown and edges are crisp, 18 to 20 min.

  • ASSEMBLE tacos by topping warm tortillas with mushrooms, avocado, onion, cilantro and pickled jalapeños. Drizzle with cashew crema. Serve immediately.
