Ingredients:

For the Pulled Mushroom Filling:

• 1 lb (450g) of large portobello mushrooms, cleaned and sliced into thin strips

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 1 teaspoon cumin

• 1 teaspoon chili powder

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (for a gluten-free option)

• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave syrup

For the Salsa Guille:

• 1 medium tomato, finely chopped

• 1 small red onion, finely diced

• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

• 1 tablespoon lime juice

• 1 teaspoon olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving:

• 4 small corn tortillas (or flour tortillas, as preferred)

• 1 avocado, sliced

• Fresh cilantro for garnish

• Lime wedges

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pulled Mushroom Filling:

   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

   • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften and release their moisture.

   • Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Stir well to coat the mushrooms with the spices.

   • Pour in the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup. Stir to combine and let the mushrooms simmer for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

   • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once the mushrooms are tender and flavorful, remove from heat.

2. Prepare the Salsa Guille:

   • In a small bowl, combine the chopped tomato, diced red onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil.

   • Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir well. Let the salsa sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

3. Assemble the Tacos:

   • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until soft and warm.

   • To assemble, place a generous amount of the pulled mushroom filling in the center of each tortilla.

   • Top with a spoonful of Salsa Guille and a few slices of fresh avocado.

   • Garnish with additional cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Tips:

• Energy-efficient tip: Use a lid while cooking the mushrooms to retain heat and reduce cooking time.
