Notes

  • In this recipe I used large flat cap mushrooms (white version of Portobello mushrooms) and shiitake mushrooms. You can use portobello mushrooms, or cremini mushrooms (also called baby bella mushrooms).
  • Cook the portobello mushrooms for a couple of minutes, then add the shiitake mushrooms as they don't need long to be cooked.
  • I used my homemade taco seasoning, it's not spicy. To make the tacos spicy, add chili powder.
  • To add extra protein, just add some extra-firm tofu cubes to the skillet and saute them along with the mushrooms.
  • To make a taco salad or a taco bowl, ditch the tortilla and serve the mushrooms with a crunchy salad or over rice in a bowl.
  • Nutrition: The calculated values are just a rough estimate per 1 taco with a corn tortilla and no toppings.
