Vegan Tacos

Happy 5th of May! On this special occasion I want to share with you a taco recipe inspired in a typical taco dish from Yucatan, Mexico.  These delicious tacos made with nutritious and healthy ingredients are a good alternative to enjoy tacos in a healthier way.

 

For this vegan version we are going to use mushrooms. They are wonderful in terms of nutrients and vitamins A, C, D and E, very rich in minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, zinc and potassium.  Consuming mushrooms help you boost the immune system, prevent diabetes, heart problems, they are also rich in fiber and antioxidants. The virtues that mushrooms have are the following:

  • High level of protein.
  • They help you have a feeling of satiety.
  • They contain a lot of water.
  • High level of fiber content helps to improve digestion.
  • They are low in calories.
  • They are delicious and very versatile when it comes to cooking them.

 

Ingredients:

  • 4 integral organic tortillas without gluten.
  • 2 pounds of organic mushrooms.
  • Himalayan salt to taste.
  • Avocado oil.
  • 1 avocado.
  • 1/2 bunch of cilantro.

Ingredients for adobo:

  • Half of achiote paste.
  • Lime or lemon juice.
  • 1/2 cup sour orange juice.
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar.
  • Oregano to taste.
  • 2 cloves of garlic.
  • 1 red tomato.
  • 1/2 onion.

Ingredients for the sauce:

  • 1/2 green onion fillet.
  • Juice of two lemons.
  • Himalayan salt.
  • Oregano.
  • 1 habanero chile.

 

Preparation:

In a blender add all the ingredients for the marinade and leave it ready.  Put the filleted mushrooms in a hot pan with oil.  Seasoning and sautéing them immediately afterwards add the adobo sauce. Finally, lower the temperature to medium heat until the adobo sauce is mixed with the mushrooms and the sauce is ticker.

Preparation of the sauce:

Put the onion fillet in the lemon juice, add the finely chopped habanero chile, salt, pepper to taste and a little oregano.

Prepare the tacos with the mushrooms in the achiote marinade and accompany with avocado, habanero sauce, fresh cilantro, and ready to enjoy el cinco de Mayo!
