Try this vegetarian take on a delicious, classic recipe. 

Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Orange Juice
  • 2 tsp Vegetable Broth (low sodium)
  • 1 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 1/2 tsp Coriander
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 lb King Trumpet Mushrooms
  • 6 Corn or Wheat Tortillas
Instructions
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400F/200C degrees.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, orange juice, vegetable broth, spices, garlic, and salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the mushrooms. Slice the caps off and cut them into very thin slices. Then, using your fingers, pinch the stems and shred them into pieces - some thick, some thinner to mimic shredded meat.

  4. 4

    Transfer to the bowl and mix until every piece of mushroom is well coated. Arrange on a large baking sheet in a single layer, spreading them as much as you can.

  5. 5

    Bake for 45-50 minutes, taking the pan out of the oven every 15 minutes or so to stir thoroughly. The mushrooms are ready when they are golden brown and a bit crispy on the outside (they shouldn’t render any water anymore and look a bit dry. They will reduce in size a lot.

  6. 6

    While the mushrooms are cooking, char the tortillas and prepare the taco toppings.

  7. 7

    Take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly before serving them in tortillas, with your favorite toppings.
