METHOD

Why It Works

Fast skillet filling: Mushrooms cook quickly and soak up the gochujang sauce in one pan. Minimal prep: Simple toppings and warm tortillas make this an easy weeknight taco build.

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.

Ingredients

16 oz cremini (Baby Bellas) mushrooms

2 cups cabbage, shredded

1 large avocado, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp gochujang

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp maple syrup

8 small (6 inch) tortillas

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp lime juice

½ cup mayo

How to Make It

1

In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and maple syrup until smooth. Set aside.

2

Slice mushrooms and shred cabbage. Mince garlic. Slice avocado and set aside.

3

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.

4

Add the garlic and stir. Cook 1 more minute.

5

Pour the sauce over the mushrooms and toss to coat. Cook 1–2 minutes until the sauce caramelizes and the mushrooms are glazed.

6

Mix shredded cabbage, lime juice, and mayo together for the slaw in a bowl and set aside.

7

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for 30 seconds per side.

8

Assemble tacos: layer cabbage, sauced mushrooms, and avocado slices. Serve with lime wedges.
