Quick and Easy Oyster Mushroom Tacos

YIELD Serves 4

TIME 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS

For the Pico De Gallo:

  • 1 large tomato, cut into ¼-inch dice

  • 1 large ripe avocado, cut into ¼-inch dice

  • 2 jalapeños, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped

  • ½ cup cilantro leaves, finely chopped

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 to 2 limes)

  • Coarse kosher salt

For the Mushrooms: 

  • 1/2 lb. oyster mushrooms (more if desired)

  • ⅓ cup neutral oil

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1½ teaspoons coarse kosher salt

  • Black pepper

  • 6 corn tortillas

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Chop and combine all of the ingredients for the pico, then set aside.

  • Separate your oyster mushrooms into bite-sized pieces and add seasoning.

  • While the mushrooms fry, make the hot honey and lime sauce. 

  • Fry your oyster mushrooms in a skillet with a neutral oil until crispy (for about 5 minutes per side.)

NOTE

If I made this again, I’d do it with more Oyster Mushrooms for the filling, and I’d use my air fryer rather than the skillet, to reduce the oil in the mushrooms.
