Ingredients for Street Tacos

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    In a bowl, combine shiitake mushrooms with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Mushrooms

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated shiitake mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes per side until they are tender and have nice grill marks.

  3. 3

    Add Al Pastor Sauce

    Brush the grilled mushrooms with Al Pastor sauce and allow them to cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add the diced pineapple to the grill for the last minute to caramelize slightly.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the mushrooms are grilling, warm the corn tortillas on a separate grill or in a skillet over low heat until they are pliable.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place the grilled shiitake mushrooms and pineapple on each warm tortilla. Top with pickled red onion, chopped cilantro, crumbled cotija cheese, and a drizzle of salsa verde.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately, garnished with extra salsa verde on the side.
