Gluten-Free, Vegan, Serves 6
For the chipotle mushroom filling:
- 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For assembling the tacos:
- Small corn or gluten-free tortillas
- Sliced avocado
- Chopped fresh cilantro
- Lime wedges
Directions:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and any excess moisture has evaporated. Stir in the chipotle chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the spices to coat the mushrooms evenly. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Warm the small corn or gluten-free tortillas according to the package instructions. To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the chipotle mushroom filling onto each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, chopped fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve the Chipotle Mushroom Street Tacos immediately and enjoy this flavorful and satisfying vegan dish!
