Method
- 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add half the mushrooms in a single layer and fry for 5 minutes until deeply golden. Tip out and repeat with the remaining oil and mushrooms.
5 min - 2
Return all the mushrooms to the pan with the garlic and oregano. Cook for 1 minute, then season with 1 tsp salt.
1 min - 3
Warm your ready made corn tortillas (see the base recipe) in a dry pan until soft.
- 4
Fill each tortilla with mushrooms. Top with your ready made pickled red onions (see the base recipe), coriander and a spoonful of your ready made salsa macha (see the base recipe).

Serve with lime wedges.
Tips
- Fry the mushrooms in batches. A crowded pan makes them steam and turn grey.
- Do not salt until the end or they release too much water.
- Mix in a splash of lime juice for brightness.
Storing and freezing
Keep cooked mushrooms in the fridge up to 2 days and reheat until steaming hot.
Questions
Can I use other mushrooms?
Yes. Oyster, portobello or shiitake all work and add different textures.
Is it vegan?
Yes, as long as you use a vegan salsa macha and tortillas, which this recipe does.
