These tacos are my new go-to-dinner on a week night. Using Black Pearl Oyster Mushrooms gives these plant-based tacos a meaty texture that’s oh so satisfying. Top them with my spicy radish slaw made with Sugar Rush Chilis, and a slice of avocado for the perfect upscale taco.

Mushroom Tacos Filling
A delicious plant-based taco recipe. Use black pear mushrooms for amazingly meaty tacos.
Ingredients
- 10 oz black pear mushrooms or mushrooms of choice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh chili pepper minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Chop mushrooms into bite size pieces. Black pearl mushrooms and other oyster mushrooms shred nicely so you can alternatively scrape the raw stems with a fork to shred them.
- Warm the oil in a skillet over medium high. Add the mushrooms and sautee for 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook another 3 or 4 minutes.
- Serve in a warmed tortilla and top with your favorite taco toppings. I like avocado and spicy radish slaw!
Spicy Radish Slaw
A crunchy and spicy topping for your favorite taco.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sliced radishes
- 10-12 mint leaves thinly sliced
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 1 Sugar Rush hot pepper or chili of choice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Thinly slice the radishes and place in a bowl of ice water for 30 minutes. This will help to mellow the radishes.
- Drain the radishes and add the remaining ingredients. Toss to combine. Use as a topping on your favorite taco.
