Ingredients
- 14 oz king oyster (also called king trumpet) mushrooms (400g)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ¼-½ tsp chipotle, ground (more or less to your tastes)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper (or to your taste)
- 4 tortilla (I used corn tortillas)
- Your toppings of choice for the tacos. I used chopped tomato, red onion, grilled corn, avocado, shredded manchego, and coriander (cilantro)
Ingredients for the sauce if using
- 6¾ fl oz tomato passata (600ml)
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF/180ºC, and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Prepare the mushrooms by cutting ff the caps (tops) and thinly slicing them. Next cut off the very bottoms and discard then shred the rest of the mushroom stem with a fork. Start by making deep grooves into the mushroom on all sides, then begin shredding it with your hands (see the video for exactly how it's done).
- Combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, chipotle, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix to combine, then add to the shredded mushrooms and toss gently to coat well.
- Transfer mushroom mix to the prepared baking tray and cook for 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms have softened and shrunk.
- Make the sauce while the mushrooms cook. Add the tomato passata, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, salt and pepper to a small saucepan. Stir to combine, bring to a boil then simmer for 15 minutes. The sauce should have reduced and be quite thick by this time.
- Remove mushrooms from oven, add to a bowl and spoon over half the sauce. Toss to combine. Add more sauce to your liking if needed and toss through again.
- Heat your tacos as per packet instructions then assemble. Start by adding the mushrooms then any other toppings you like. Enjoy!

Notes
To create your deliciously smoky mushroom tacos consider adding toppings like chopped fresh cilantro / coriander, chopped red onions or pickled onions, and a lime wedge for serving. While optional, a salsa will add even more flavour and nutrients. Try some cilantro chimichurri, mango habanero salsa, and some smashed avocado or guacamole.
