    They're topped with a homemade guacamole, a vegan sour cream, fresh corn salsa, and garnished with cilantro straight from the garden. It's so delicious!

    The best part is the creation and making them yours so load them up with all of your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, or salsa. You can also put beans in the tacos for extra protein. Get creative and fill your tacos with any ingredients you desire!

    Total Time

    • Preparation time: 5 minutes
    • Cooking time: 15 minutes
    • Total: 20 minutes

    Ingredients

    • Corn salsa
    • Pico de gallo
    • Guacamole
    • Vegan sour cream
    • Flour tortillas for tacos
    • Oil

    For Mushroom Fajita:

    • Portobello mushrooms
    • Red bell pepper
    • Yellow bell pepper
    • Green bell pepper
    • Red onion
    • Lime
    • Chili powder
    • Ground cumin
    • Smoked paprika
    • Oregano
    • Salt and pepper

    For Mushroom Marinade:

    • Soy sauce
    • Water
    • Olive oil
    • Lime
    • Garlic cloves
    • Black pepper

    How to make crispy mushroom fajita tacos

    1. Slice the mushroom cups into thick ½-inch strips. 
    2. Prepare a marinade for the mushrooms: in a bowl mix soy sauce, water, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and pepper. Place mushrooms into the marinade and stir until evenly coated, cover a bowl with a lid and put into the fridge for 30 mins.
    3. In a meantime, slice the bell peppers into thick long strips, also slice the onion lengthwise into large chunks. Put bell peppers and onions into a big bowl and cover with spices: chili, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with lime juice and stir.
    4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned vegetables and cook for about 6 minutes. 
    5. Remove the mushrooms from the marinade and add to the skillet. Stir everything and cook for another 6-7 minutes. 
    6. Heat a ½ tablespoon of oil in a skillet and toast tortillas a little bit on both sides, then make a taco shell and arrange all the fillings. Serve with vegan sourcream and enjoy.

    Tips For Success

    • If you're making everything homemade, it's best to prep your corn salsa, Pico de Gallo, and guacamole ahead of time so the flavors really set in. Keep it in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
    • You can use different mushrooms, or maybe a blend, if you'd like some different textures. Oyster and shiitake mushrooms also work amazing!
    • If you want your tacos a little heartier, add some black beans or load up with more vegetables.
    • Want soft tacos instead? Wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven at 350F for 20 minutes.

    Storage

    • Store leftovers in separate airtight containers and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
    • It's best to use fresh tortillas when you're ready to eat your tacos again. That way you can be sure to have a crispy shell!

      Mushroom tacos are seriously some of my favorite meat replacements. I love how the mushrooms bring a meaty texture but still pack on the flavor. I really enjoyed this recipe and can't wait to make it again!

      Girl, my love of tacos is so real. I love the idea of using mushrooms in place of meat, I see a lot of vegan recipes that use jackfruit and it is just way too sweet for me. These tacos were so delicious and bursting with flavor. I topped them with your pico de gallo and it was straight perfection!
