Print Recipe

These garlic butter mushroom tacos offer a rich, satisfying, and lighter alternative to beef tacos, featuring caramelized mushrooms in a luscious garlic butter sauce with fresh toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cremini or baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
  • Thinly sliced radishes
  • 1 small avocado, sliced
  • Optional toppings: pickled red onions, hot sauce or salsa verde

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: wipe mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice evenly; mince garlic; slice radishes thinly.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter gently without browning.
  3. Add minced garlic to the melted butter and stir constantly until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms to the pan in a single layer; cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, then stir and continue cooking until golden brown and tender, about 8-10 minutes total. Season halfway through with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in fresh lime juice.
  6. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave wrapped in a damp towel for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Assemble tacos by placing a generous spoonful of garlic butter mushrooms on each tortilla. Top with crumbled queso fresco, cilantro, radish slices, and avocado. Add pickled onions or hot sauce if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Make sure mushrooms are dry before cooking to avoid sogginess. Cook mushrooms in a single layer to ensure caramelization. Add garlic just before mushrooms to prevent burning. Use fresh lime juice at the end to brighten flavors. Warm tortillas while mushrooms cook for efficient multitasking.
