Pulled Mushroom Tacos With Salsa Guille Recipes

MUSHROOM TACOS

Steps:

• Use a spoon to scrape off the gills from the portabella mushrooms and slice into long thin pieces.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and jalapeños. Sauté for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
• Add mushrooms to a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of oil, a sprinkle of lime juice, and taco seasoning.
• Raise the skillet heat to medium high and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring only occasionally, for about 10 minutes.
• Warm the tortillas. Add mushroom filling inside each tortilla and desired toppings on top. (See recipe notes for topping ideas.)

SALSA GUILLE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot over high. Add onion, garlic, and chiles. Reduce heat to maintain a low simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, chiles are blistered, and garlic is golden around the edges, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to a blender or food processor and let cool 10 minutes.
• Add peanut butter, bouillon, and ½ tsp. salt to blender and purée. Remove small inset lid from top and, with the machine on the lowest setting, slowly pour in half the cooking oil (1 cup). Blend until salsa is velvety and emulsified. (Discard remaining oil or strain and reserve for another use, such as frying eggs or cooking the mushrooms for these tacos). Taste salsa and season with more salt if needed.
• Transfer to a small bowl and top with peanuts just before serving.
• Do ahead: Salsa (without peanut topping) can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and chill.
