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.

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.

SOFT TACOS WITH MUSHROOMS, ONION, AND CHIPOTLE CHILE

Categories     Mushroom     Marinate     Dinner     Healthy

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 pound cremini, white button, or oyster mushrooms, cleaned, stems trimmed, and sliced
Salt to taste
1 to 2 garlic cloves, to taste, minced
1 canned chipotle chile in adobo, seeded and chopped (more to taste)
2 tablespoons minced cilantro or flat-leaf parsley
8 corn tortillas
2 to 3 ounces queso fresco or ranchero, or feta, crumbled
Fresh or bottled salsa if desired

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and turn the heat up to medium-high. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms soften and begin to sweat. Turn the heat back to medium and add 1/2 teaspoon salt, the garlic and the chipotle. Continue to cook until the mushroom liquid has evaporated from the pan, about 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the cilantro or parsley, taste and adjust seasonings. 2. Heat the tortillas, 2 or 3 at a time, in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, or in a microwave. Top each one with a spoonful of mushrooms, and a sprinkling of cheese. Fold the filled tortillas in half, and serve, passing the salsa separately in a bowl.

Tips:

  • Prep the Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all the ingredients are prepped and measured. This will ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process.
  • Use a Large Skillet: A large skillet or griddle is essential for cooking the mushroom filling. This will provide enough space for the mushrooms to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Cook the Mushrooms in Batches: If you're using a lot of mushrooms, cook them in batches to prevent overcrowding the skillet. Overcrowding can result in uneven cooking and soggy mushrooms.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the mushrooms and cabbage with salt and pepper. This will enhance their natural flavors and make the tacos more flavorful.
  • Make the Chipotle Ranchera Salsa Ahead of Time: The chipotle ranchera salsa can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This makes it a convenient option for busy weeknight meals.
  • Assemble the Tacos Just Before Serving: To ensure the tacos are fresh and crispy, assemble them just before serving. This will prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.

These soft tacos with mushrooms, cabbage, and chipotle ranchera salsa are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
