Ingredients
  

  • Tacos:
  • 5-6 corn tortillas
  • 4 cups oyster mushrooms roughly chopped
  • 1 large plantain sliced
  • 2 roma tomatoes diced
  • 1/2 cup white onion diced
  • 3/4 cup cilantro chopped, loosely packed
  • 1/2 avocado sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 2 tbsp garlic minced
  • Creamy Tofu Chipotle Sauce:
  • 12 oz soft tofu
  • 1 tbsp tamari
  • 1-2 tbsp chipotle peppers canned
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare salsa by dicing the tomatoes, onions, and cilantro and placing in a bowl. Gently toss and set aside.
  • Prepare the sauce by blending the tofu, tamari, chipotle peppers, lime juice, olive oil, and sea salt. Start with 1 tbsp of chipotle, blend and taste, and then add the additional tbsp if you prefer it to be spicier. This will make extra sauce to use as a dip for veggies, 'chipotle mayo' for sandwiches, or more tacos. It can be stored in the fridge for up to three days.
  • Lightly wash the mushrooms and roughly chop. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add the garlic and mushrooms. Stir occasionally until the mushrooms are soft and starting to brown.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil on medium heat in a second frying pan. Place the slices of plantain and fry until slightly browned. Flip over and fry the other side. Turn off heat once both sides are cooked.
  • Transfer plantains to a bowl and ser aside.
  • Warm the tortillas in a frying pan on low heat. A few seconds on each side is enough to soften and warm them.
  • Assemble the tacos by placing the oyster mushrooms, plantain, sliced avocado, creamy chipotle sauce, and salsa on the tortilla.
  • Serve with a slice of lime and enjoy!
  • Please let me know if you need anything else.
