Ingredients
  

  • 2 whole medium bundles of oyster mushrooms ~1/4 pound
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 soft corn tortillas
  • 1/4 avocado
  • 1 sprig cilantro optional
  • 2 tbsp salsa verde Use our Roasted Tomatillo Salsa Verde recipe to make your own!
  • 1 tsp lime juice

Instructions
 

  • Separate oyster mushroom “leaves” from main stem (use stem for cooking as well) and mince garlic.
  • Heat olive oil in a cast iron pan and add garlic over medium heat. Let garlic infuse into olive oil for about 3 minutes (be careful not to burn garlic, lower heat if necessary and keep a close eye!).
  • Add oyster mushrooms and salt to pan over medium heat and saute until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Garlic will become golden brown and crispy as well, adding great flavor and texture to your tacos!
  • Place 1 tortilla at a time over your stove’s open flame allowing the tortilla to char slightly. Make sure it does not catch on fire or char completely by keeping the flame low and watching it carefully!
  • Once small char marks appear, flip the tortilla and repeat on the other side. Repeat for all tortillas.
  • Cut ¼ avocado into long quarters (in half and half again, lengthwise) to create long thin strips perfect for tacos.
  • Assemble tacos by adding oyster mushrooms, avocado, salsa, and cilantro to the tortillas.
  • Squeeze lime on top and enjoy!
