Asada Mushroom Tacos are a flavorful plant-based take on classic street tacos, featuring citrus-marinated mushrooms cooked until tender and lightly charred. Served in warm tortillas with fresh toppings, they deliver bold and satisfying flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound portobello mushrooms or mixed mushrooms, sliced
  • 8 corn or flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, soy sauce or tamari, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms and toss until evenly coated.
  3. Let the mushrooms marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor.
  4. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Cook the mushrooms for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly charred.
  6. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a flame for a few seconds per side.
  7. Fill each tortilla with the cooked mushrooms.
  8. Top with diced red onion, fresh cilantro, and avocado slices.
  9. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the tacos.
  10. Enjoy immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Oyster mushrooms create a shredded texture similar to traditional carne asada.
  • Add black beans for extra protein and fiber.
  • Top with pickled red onions, jalapeños, or salsa for additional flavor.
  • Use corn tortillas and tamari for a gluten-free version.
  • Store leftover mushroom filling in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze the mushroom filling for up to 2 months and thaw before reheating.
