The Magic of Mushroom Tacos

January 2, 2012 By Patricia 3 Comments

Abracadabra! Magical Mushroom Tacos

To me, this Mushroom Taco recipe is magical. Need to make a meal out of next-to-nothing? Poof! It’s all in the magic of the mushrooms!

I’m getting really good at remembering recipes I’ve read a while back and duplicating them without having them on hand. Yes, they’re the easy recipes, but they sure do come in handy…especially if I don’t want to eat cereal for dinner.

No Wand Required

This recipe couldn’t be easier to put together and you can use just about any type of hearty mushrooms. The original recipe called for chanterelles (which are heavenly!) but I used cremini (cheaper, easier to get your hands on).

I used whole-wheat tortillas for the base of my tacos. Lightly grill them or heat them, and fill them up with this mushroom mixture. You’ll be surprised at how filling they are, too. Looking for some nutritional value in this dish? Mushrooms are full of vitamin D, which helps your body absorb calcium to build and maintain strong bones.

This easy, something-from-nothing meal will pleasantly surprise you. And you won’t have to worry about which cereal to pick for dinner.

Recipe for Mushroom Tacos:

Adapted from Whole Living

Serves 4 people


INGREDIENTS

  • 16 ounces cremini mushrooms (or another hearty mushroom), sliced
  • Half a large onion, cut into strips
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper or 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4-1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, pepper and red pepper flakes, to taste
  • 8 small-to-medium-sized tortillas
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or chopped walnuts to add over the top of each taco

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Use a large skillet over medium-high heat to warm the olive oil and butter. Add the onions and pepper and sauté until the onions soften. Add in the salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
  2. Add the mushrooms and garlic and stir them as they cook, for about 5 minutes. The mushrooms will begin to release their liquid.
  3. Turn off the heat and add in the Parmesan cheese. Remove the pan from the heat. Toss in the toasted pine nuts or walnuts if you’re using them, and mix everything well.
  4. Grill or warm your tortillas. When they’re ready, add the mushroom mixture to each, and serve.

    Yum! I love anything with mushrooms and this seems like the perfect and simple weeknight meal, I need more of these in my arsenal! I absolutely adore chanterelles, but I totally agree. Not cheap or necessarily easy to find. Cremini are my go-to mushroom definitely :)

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
