Can I substitute regular mushrooms?

You can definitely substitute regular mushrooms. Slice them up and measure out 2 cups.

Can I make the filling in advance?

Yes! The filling will keep in the fridge for 3 days. Keep in an air tight container in the refrigerator. Warm in the microwave or in a skillet with a couple tablespoons of water or vegetable broth until steaming hot.

What can I use instead of mushrooms?

If you are not a fan of mushrooms you can use 1 extra cup of canned beans (like black or pinto beans) or frozen thawed sweet corn instead. Add them in with the black beans to warm them through.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in foil or lay taco shells on baking sheet. Bake until warm, about 10 minutes.

3. While the tortillas warm, heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, pepper, onion and salt and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened and starting to brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

4. Sprinkle chili powder and cumin over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook, stirring until the spices are fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add tomato paste and water and stir until the tomato paste forms a thick coating sauce on the vegetables. Add more water if necessary, to desired thinness. Stir in beans and cook until the mixture is heated through, about 1 minute.

5. Divide the vegetables mixture among the tortillas. Top with guacamole and salsa. Serve sprinkled with cilantro.

Notes

To Make In Advance
