It’s Tuesday – let’s make mushroom tacos! Of all the plant-based taco fillings out there, mushrooms are one of the best. Meaty, juicy, and savory, they make a taco incredibly flavorful and satisfying to eat. I’ve shared a few recipes for mushroom tacos in the past, but if you ask me, you can never have too many taco recipes in your back pocket. We’ve been making this one a TON lately, and it’s become one of our new favorites. I think you’re going to love it too!

The great thing about these mushroom tacos is that they’re so simple. They consist of a few basic components – grilled portobellos, avocado salsa, and pickled red onions – that come together to make the tacos far more than the sum of their parts. They have a delicious mix of textures and sweet, spicy, tangy, and umami flavors. Still, you can put them together in right around 30 minutes.

How to Make Mushroom Tacos

Heads up! If you don’t keep a jar of pickled red onions on hand, you’ll want to make those a day (or at least a few hours) in advance.

Otherwise, the first step to making this mushroom taco recipe is grilling the mushrooms.

You can find my method in this post. Basically, I toss the mushroom caps with olive oil, tamari or soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar to enhance their savory, umami flavor. Then, I grill them until they’re tender, juicy, and nicely charred.

What to Serve with Mushroom Tacos

You could certainly serve these tacos on their own for a quick and easy summer dinner, but we often pair them with a few side dishes to round out the meal. My go-tos are black beans and cilantro lime rice, but the tacos would also be fantastic with creamy pinto beans, refried beans, or a Mexican street corn salad. You could even serve them with tortilla chips and a zesty dip like salsa verde or pico de gallo. For more ideas of what to serve with tacos, check out this post.
