Mushroom Birria-Style Tacos
Makes 12
Total time: 45 minutes
Vegan, Gluten-Free
4 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 small yellow onion, minced
2 pounds mushrooms
4 large garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons taco seasoning
1-2 tablespoons chicken flavored vegetarian bouillon (optional)
½ teaspoon crushed red chilies
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
12 corn tortillas
1 ½ cup store-bought enchilada sauce, heated
1 ½ cup plant-based mozzarella cheese, shredded
1. Shred mushrooms by scraping the length of the mushrooms with the tines of a fork, working your way around then pull apart by hand and set aside.
2. In a sauté pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until tender. Toss in shredded mushrooms and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic, taco seasoning, mock chicken powder, chilies, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook until fragrant and mushrooms are tender.
3. To assemble, layer 2 tablespoons cheese and 2 tablespoons of mushrooms onto each tortilla. Fold in half and heat 2 minutes per side in a clean skillet. Once cheese has melted, brush or spoon on sauce to coat tacos.
4. Place tacos on a platter and service with remaining enchilada sauce.
