Gather the following ingredients
For this recipe, gather 200g sliced mushrooms, one large chopped onion, two minced garlic cloves, one sliced bell pepper, 100g corn kernels, one tsp cumin powder, half a tsp chili powder (to taste), salt (to taste), six corn tortillas, and cilantro for garnish. Sauce needs 100g Greek or plant-based yogurt, one tablespoon of lime juice, and salt (to taste).
Preparing the mushroom mix
Start by heating two tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the pan. Saute them until they become translucent and fragrant. This should take about three minutes. Then add the sliced mushrooms and bell pepper into the pan. Cook them until they're soft and have released their moisture - approximately five minutes.
Spice it up
Once your vegetables are sauteed well, it's time to spice things up. Sprinkle in the cumin powder and chili powder over your mushroom mix. Also add in the corn kernels at this stage for an added texture contrast. Stir everything well ensuring that the spices evenly coat all ingredients. Cook for another two minutes then season with salt according to your taste preference.
Prepare your tortillas
As your mushroom mixture simmers with the spices, it's time to prepare your corn tortillas. Heat another pan over low heat or use an open flame for a slightly charred effect. Warm each tortilla for about thirty seconds on each side. This process makes them pliable without turning them crispy, ensuring they're the perfect vessel for your mushroom filling.
Assembling your tacos
Now comes the fun part - assembling your tacos! Take a warm tortilla and spoon some of the mushroom mixture onto it; fold gently so as not to break it. Drizzle with some Greek yogurt mixed with lime juice and salt for that creamy tangy flavor which complements spicy mushrooms perfectly. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
