The BEST Vegan Mushroom Tacos Recipe
Calling all mushroom lovers! These delicious vegan mushroom tacos are bursting with so much flavor, easy to customize, and make taco night a delicious, plant-forward meal!
Servings: 5 -6 small tacos
Ingredients
- 1/4 white onion finely sliced or minced
- 12 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce
- 2-3 tsp taco seasoning I used this taco seasoning
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 10 oz sliced white mushrooms
- 150 g tempeh cubed
- salt and pepper to taste
- to serve
- gluten-free tortillas
- vegan sour cream
- pickled red onion
- avocado
- hot sauce
Instructions
- Bring a pan to medium heat, and sauté onions until translucent and slightly soft. Add garlic, soy sauce and taco seasoning and paprika and sauté for another 2 minutes or so, until fragrant.
- Add tempeh and mushrooms to the pan and cook down until mushrooms are tender and tempeh is golden brown. If desired, add additional seasoning and either oil or veggie broth as needed so mixture does not burn/stick to the pan. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat tortillas of choice, then serve tacos and garnish with additional herbs and veggies of choice. Enjoy!
Notes
Secrets to Success
- To make this recipe oil-free, I always recommend using a good nonstick frying pan. Mushrooms do release some liquid as they cook, so you can "fry" them dry to start. If things feel dry, you can always add splashes of veggie broth to avoid burning and sticking, otherwise feel free to use a little cooking oil of choice.
- As always, the best way to enjoy a meatless meal is to prepare it as you would a regular meal. For example, if you usually top your tacos with guac, definitely do the same with these Mushroom Shii-Tacos! Are you a hot sauce or cheese lover? Add both in (vegan versions, of course). You know what you like best, so think of this as an alternative to the meat but the rest is up to you!
- This is the taco seasoning I used. It’s from Primal Palate and its ingredients are simple and so delicious: Chipotle Chili Powder, Pink Himalayan Salt, Paprika, Black Pepper, Cumin, and Garlic.
