PULLED MUSHROOM TACOS WITH SALSA GUILLE



Pulled Mushroom Tacos With Salsa Guille image

This recipe lets mushrooms shine, turning them crispy and meaty-almost like carnitas-topped with a creamy, savory peanut butter and serrano salsa.

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.

CHIPOTLE-GRILLED MUSHROOM TACO BAR



Chipotle-Grilled Mushroom Taco Bar image

You won't miss the meat when you build a taco with spicy and sweet grilled portobellos. Be sure to let the mushrooms get a good char on the cap side before you flip them; they just taste better that way. The corn salsa is a riff on elote, the Mexican grilled corn rolled in mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese, and it makes a mild, creamy partner to the spicy mushrooms.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 to 2 canned chipotles in adobo sauce, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons of the sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 large portobello mushroom caps (about 2 pounds), stems removed
Corn Salsa:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
4 ears corn, shucked
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
24 soft corn tortillas, warmed
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack
2 cups prepared pico de gallo or salsa
1 cup thinly sliced red radishes
2 avocados, diced
2 limes, cut into 8 wedges each

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
  • For the mushrooms: Pulse the orange juice, vegetable oil, cider vinegar, brown sugar, chipotles and adobo sauce and1/2 teaspoon salt in a mini-food processor or blender until smooth and emulsified.
  • Put the mushroom caps in 1 or 2 large resealable plastic bags and pour in the marinade. Rub the marinade into the caps, seal the bags and marinate at room temperature while you make the corn salsa, turning the bags over occasionally.
  • For the corn salsa: Lightly oil the grill grates. Brush the corn evenly with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until the kernels are cooked through and charred in spots, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly; keep the grill at medium-high heat.
  • Whisk the mayonnaise, Parmesan and lime zest and juice in a large bowl until combined. Cut off the corn kernels with a paring knife and stir into the mayonnaise mixture. Mix in the cilantro and 1/4 teaspoon salt and set aside.
  • Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and season on both sides. Pour the marinade into a bowl. Put the mushrooms on the grill cap-side down and grill until very charred, rotating them a few degrees to keep one spot from charring too much if necessary, about 4 minutes. Flip, brush with a little marinade and grill until the bottoms are charred and the mushrooms are tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 4 more minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a cutting board, slice thickly and transfer to a platter.
  • For the taco bar: Serve the mushrooms immediately with the tortillas, corn salsa, Monterey Jack, pico de gallo, radishes, avocados and limes, letting diners build their own tacos.

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.

Tips:

  • Sear the mushrooms properly: Sear the mushrooms in a hot skillet until they are browned and slightly crispy. This will help them develop a rich flavor and texture.
  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn is essential for making the charred corn salsa. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn, but be sure to thaw it before using.
  • Char the corn properly: Char the corn kernels in a hot skillet until they are slightly blackened. This will give them a smoky flavor that complements the mushrooms.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Feel free to add your favorite toppings to the tacos. Some good options include avocado, salsa, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

These mushroom tacos with charred corn salsa are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The mushrooms are flavorful and juicy, the salsa is smoky and refreshing, and the tacos are topped with a variety of your favorite toppings. Give this recipe a try the next time you're looking for a new and exciting taco recipe.
