Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Mushrooms:
1 lb. oyster mushrooms, brushed clean
1 cup avocado oil or grapeseed oil
2 large garlic cloves, smashed, peeled
2 large or 4 small dried bay leaves
Zest of 1 small lime
1 tsp. smoked paprika
Kosher salt
Tacos:
8 (6") or 12 (4") corn tortillas
Salsa Guille (see recipe; for serving)
½ medium white onion, finely chopped
1 avocado, sliced or chopped
6 radishes, trimmed, halved if large, thinly sliced
½ cup finely chopped cilantro
1 lime, quartered

Steps:

  • Mushrooms:
  • Shred mushrooms by pinching edge of caps and pulling apart all the way to the stem, like pulling string cheese. (Shreds needn't be uniform; the thinner strips will get crispier while the thicker ones will remain more meaty.)
  • Pour oil into a cold medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot; add garlic and bay leaves. Set over high heat and cook until garlic is golden, about 5 minutes. Remove garlic and bay leaves with a slotted spoon; discard. Reduce heat to medium-high.
  • Working in batches, fry mushrooms in garlic oil, tossing once or twice, until thinner pieces are browned and crisp but thicker pieces are still tender and meaty, 6-8 minutes. (Reduce heat if mushrooms are crisping too quickly.) Using a slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to a wire rack or paper-towel-lined baking sheet and let drain.
  • Transfer mushrooms to a medium bowl, add lime zest and paprika, and season with salt. Toss to evenly coat. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
  • Tacos:
  • Heat a comal or large skillet over medium. Working in batches, toast tortillas until they begin to inflate, about 2 minutes then turn over and cook on other side until lightly charred in spots, about 2 minutes. Wrap tortillas in a kitchen towel to keep warm until ready to serve.
  • To assemble tacos, spoon mushroom filling down center of a tortilla. Top with a blanket of salsa, then scatter onion, avocado, radishes, and cilantro over. Finish with a generous squeeze of lime.

Yield Makes 6 large tacos

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 Anaheim chiles
1 poblano chile
1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 1 ear)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
1/2 white onion, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 large clove garlic, thinly sliced
6 ounces cremini or white button mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
6 fresh epazote leaves, chopped (about 1 tablespoon, optional)
Fresh-ground black pepper
1/2 cup queso fresco, cut into small cubes
6 warm corn tortillas
Salsa quemada
1/4 cup grated cotixa or añejo cheese
Cilantro sprigs

Steps:

  • 1. Roast the chiles as for rajas (see note) and cut them into 1/2-inch dice.
  • 2. Heat a heavy pan (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat until very hot.
  • 3. In a bowl, toss the corn with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and a sprinkling of salt. Spread the corn in the hot pan and let it blacken slightly, without stirring, for 30 seconds. Have a lid ready in case the kernels begin to pop. Remove the roasted corn from the pan.
  • 4. In the same pan, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Add the onion and diced chiles and cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft and beginning to brown. Season lightly with salt and remove from the pan.
  • 5. Reduce the heat and add the remaining olive oil. Add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Return the corn and chiles to the pan and stir to reheat.
  • 6. Turn off the heat and stir in the epazote, if using, black pepper, and queso fresco.
  • 7. To assemble the tacos, spoon some vegetables onto a tortilla. Top with a generous tablespoon of salsa and sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of cotixa cheese over all. Top with a cilantro sprig.
