Beer-Marinated Portobello Tacos with Avocado-Corn Salsa
Beer-Marinated Portobello Tacos with Avocado-Corn Salsa
PrintIngredients
- 1 1/2 vegan pale or blonde ale
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 4 portobello mushrooms, stemmed, gills scraped, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) slices
- Sunflower oil, for cooking
- Avocado-Corn Salsa
- 6-8 corn tortillas (or small flour tortillas)
Instructions
- Combine the beer, lime juice, cumin, and garlic powder in a shallow baking dish. Add the portobello strips and toss to fully coat. Marinate for 30 minutes, moving the strips around every 10 minutes.
- Heat a large frying pan, preferably cast iron, over medium heat. Add a couple of teaspoons of oil and tilt the pan around to evenly coat the bottom. Add about half of the portobello strips and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until tender and slightly charred, and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Transfer the strips to a plate or bowl and cover with aluminum foil. Add another couple of teaspoons of oil to the pan and repeat with the remaining strips.
- Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat (or just clean the pan you cooked the portobello strips in and reuse it). Cook the tortillas for 30 to 60 seconds on each side, placing them on a plate and covering with aluminum foil when they’re done.
- To serve, place a few portobello strips in a tortilla and top with the avocado-corn salsa. Leftovers will keep in the fridge in separate airtight containers for up to 4 days.
