Sweet-spicy gochujang mushrooms with crunchy toppings—taco night in 25 minutes.
Avo's Tip
Do not crowd pan.
Adjust spice to taste.
No gochujang? Mix 1 tbsp sriracha with ½ tsp white miso for a similar fermented heat.
No corn tortillas? Flour tortillas or butter lettuce leaves both work well.
Different protein? Eggplant or canned jackfruit absorb the sauce the same way mushrooms do.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you start cooking.
Are these very spicy?
Moderately spicy; reduce gochujang for mild.

Use tamari and corn tortillas.

Fridge: Store mushrooms separately in container for up to 4 days.

Ingredients
1
mushrooms
2
cabbage
3
avocado
4
garlic
5
gochujang
6
soy sauce
7
maple syrup
8
tortillas
Instructions
1
In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, and maple syrup until smooth. Set aside.
2
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the mushrooms and cook 5–6 minutes undisturbed, then stir and cook another 3–4 minutes until deeply golden. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds.
3
Pour the sauce over the mushrooms and toss to coat. Cook 1–2 minutes until the sauce caramelizes and the mushrooms are glazed.
4
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for 30 seconds per side.
5
Fill each tortilla with the glazed mushrooms, sliced cabbage, and avocado. Serve with lime wedges.
Quick Fixes
Mushrooms steaming instead of browning: Cook in a hot skillet in a single layer and avoid crowding the pan.
Sauce too salty or intense: Start with less gochujang/soy, then taste and adjust after the mushrooms finish cooking.
