Ingredients

Scale

Pickled Onion

  • 1 Large Red Onion
  • 4 Tbsp Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Fine Sea Salt
  • 1 Cup Hot Water
  • 1 Cup Rice Vinegar or White Wine Vinegar

Mushrooms

  • 26 Ounce packages of Portobello Mushrooms
  • 4 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Cup Barbecue Sauce
  • Salt and Pepper to season
  • 4 Corn Soft Shells
  • 2 Avocados
  • 6 Radishes sliced thin
  • Queso Fresco-
  • 2 Limes

For the Cilantro Crema Sauce

  • 1 Cup Sour Cream
  • 3 Tbsp Mayo
  • 1/4 Cup Cilantro
  • 1 Lime zest and juice
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE PICKLED RED ONION

  • In a large jar, combine the sugar, salt and hot water. Stir to combine. Next, add the vinegar and the thinly sliced red onions. Let that sit for at least 30 minutes while you’re preparing the tacos and or let sit over night for the best results.  Use 6 tablespoons pickled onion for these tacos divided evenly into four tacos.

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE HOME-MADE CILANTRO LIME CREMA-

  • Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Transfer to a jar and serve immediately or refrigerate. I definitely like this better when it sits in the fridge overnight. If you want to thin this out as it will thicken in the fridge- use can use a little lime juice or water to thin out to your desired consistency.
  • If you want to make this a little more healthy- you can use plain greek yogurt instead of the sour cream. To store- cover and this will keep in the fridge for up to 5 day. I do not recommend freezing this.  Use 4 tablespoons of this crema to drizzle over the top of the 4 tacos.

INSTRUCTIONS ON TO COOK THE PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS-

  • Brush the sliced mushrooms with oil on both sides. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat your grill to medium heat or a grill pan over medium heat. Do not slice the mushrooms until after they’ve been grilled.
  • Lay the mushrooms on the grill and cook until browned on the bottom with grill marks, about 4-6 minutes. Flip the mushrooms and cook on the second side for about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the mushrooms and brush all over with the barbecue sauce. Cover and keep warm.

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PREPARE THE TORTILLAS

  • I like to either put the corn tortillas in a pan on the stove-top and cook for about 1 minute and half on each side on medium to medium low heat. Another options is to wrap up all the tortillas in foil and heat them up in the toaster oven for about 5 minutes at 300 F. My breville toaster oven is perfect for heating up the corn tortillas. This is hands down my favorite toaster oven. I loved my first one so much, I bought a second one after I moved into my house.

ASSEMBLING THE GF BBQ PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM TACOS

  • To assemble the tacos, slice the mushrooms in strips. Fill the tortillas with the BBQ mushrooms, avocado, pickled onions, 1 Tbsp crema and radishes. Then top with the Queso Fresco and fresh cilantro and enjoy these amazingly easy and delicious tacos.

Notes

  • Season the mushrooms well with salt and pepper.
  • These tacos are best eaten right away.
  • 6 Tbsp pickled red onions divided between the 4 tacos.
  • 4 Tbsp cilantro crema drizzled over the 4 tacos.
