Ingredients

  • 1 Bag Alexia® Spice of Life™ Cilantro Lime (16 oz)
  • 3 tbsp Sunflower Seed Oil
  • 4 Garlic Cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp Fresh Thyme Leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1 lb Mixed Shiitake Mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp Sherry Vinegar
  • 3 tbsp Salsa De Arbol
  • 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
  • 8 Warm Tortillas of choice
  • 1 lb Tomatillos, cleaned and rinsed​
  • 2 Chiles De Árbol, stemmed​
  • 2 tbsp White Onion, rough chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Cilantro, for garnish

Directions

  1. Prepare the potatoes according to package instructions.

  2. Place the tomatillos on a baking sheet and place under the broiler. Roast and char for 10 mins, turn over halfway at 5 mins, until charred, and softened. Place into a blender with chiles de árbol, add onion and salt. Puree until smooth.
     

  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic and thyme. Once garlic turns lightly brown on the edges, add in the star of your mushroom tacos: the mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then stir and season with salt. Continue to cook for 4-5 minutes, allowing any liquid to cook off and until they are fully browned.

  4. Once browned, stir in the salsa de arbol and cook for one minute while stirring, so mushrooms absorb the flavor. Stir in the vinegar and the chopped cilantro.
     

  5. 5. The last step in this mushroom taco recipe is the assembly–spoon mushroom mixture onto tortillas, top with potatoes, and finish tacos with cilantro and more salsa de árbol.
