Ingredients

Charred Corn Salsa

  • 2 ears fresh corn - husked
  • ½ red oni
  • on - finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño - seeded and minced
  • 1 small bunch cilantro - chopped
  • Juice of 1 large lime
  • Kosher salt

Mushroom Tacos

  • 2 tbsp 30 ml avocado oil
  • 3 cloves garlic - minced
  • 2 tbsp 30 g tomato paste
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 8 oz 225 g cremini mushrooms, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 15-oz [425-g] can of pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp 30 ml soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp 15 ml pure maple syrup
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo - minced + 1 tbsp (15 ml) adobo sauce
  • 1 tbsp 15 ml apple cider vinegar
  • 4 to 6 corn or flour tortillas

For Topping (optional)

  • Shredded romaine lettuce
  • Chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • For the salsa, heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over high heat until very hot. Add the corners and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, or until charred on all sides before transferring to a plate. Once cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to shave the kernels off the cob. Mix with the remaining salsa ingredients and season with salt to taste.
  • For the taco filling, allow the skillet to cool off slightly, then heat the oil over medium heat. When shimmering, add the garlic, tomato paste, and smoked paprika. Toast for 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
  • Add the mushrooms, pinto beans, soy sauce, maple syrup, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce. Cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the mushrooms have softened and the sauce has thickened.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the vinegar. Briefly heat your tortillas, one at a time, in a nonstick pan or directly on a burner (if you have a gas stove) until soft and pliable. Load up each one with the mushroom filling, a spoonful of corn salsa, and any desired toppings.
