Instructions

For the Mushrooms

  • Place sliced mushrooms in a shallow baking dish and set aside. Add the marinade ingredients to a bowl and whisk.
  • Pour the marinade over the mushroom slices and toss to coat. Cover dish and place in the fridge for 1-2 hours.

For the Potatoes

  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Chop peeled sweet potatoes into 1/4 inch sized cubes. Add olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sea salt and toss to coat evenly.
  • Bake potatoes for 30-35 minutes or until softened and lightly browned.

Assembly

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat, add mushrooms and saute until marinade is cooked down to a thick sauce, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Assemble tacos by dividing the mushrooms and sweet potatoes between 6 tacos and adding desired toppings.

Notes

  • Mushrooms have lots of moisture: Avoid soggy tacos by letting the portobellos cook long enough to release their moisture and give it time to cook away. You'll notice extra moisture in the pan as these cook - it combines with the marinade and infuses tons of flavor into the mushroom filling!
  • To char the tortillas: I use tongs to lay the corn tortilla directly over the flame on my gas stove. As soon as I see the edges start to blacken I flip it with the tongs and cook the other side for just a few seconds.
  • Add some protein: Don't be afraid to add other ingredients to these tacos to make them more filling. We usually pair them with some refried beans for protein but you could also add some beans directly into the tacos. Other vegetarian protein options for these tacos include: seitan and chick'n.
  • Nutrition facts are calculate for the filling only and do not include tortillas or other toppings.***
