Recipe: Spicy Lion's Mane Tacos with Pickled Onions

Yields: 4 Servings (8 Tacos) Preparation Time: 20 Minutes

Ingredients

For Pickled Onions:

• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

• 1/2 cup water

• 1 tablespoon sugar

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 red onion, thinly sliced

For Tacos:

• 2 (8 oz) boxes of lion's mane mushrooms

• 1 can chipotle chiles in adobo, blended

• 2 tablespoons honey

• 3 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon cumin

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 8 tortillas

• 1 lime

• 1/4 cup cilantro

• 1/4 cup radish

• 1 avocado

Directions

Step 1 - Prepare Pickled Onions:

1. In a bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, and salt.

2. Add thinly sliced red onions to the brine and allow them to sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour or overnight.

3. Before using, drain the pickled onions.

Step 2 - Prepare Lion's Mane Mushrooms:

1. Trim the woody ends of the lion's mane mushrooms, then tear them into 1-inch chunks.

2. Season the mushrooms with salt and set them aside.

Step 3 - Prepare Adobo Sauce:

1. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup of adobo sauce, honey, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of oil, and cumin.

2. Add lion's mane mushrooms to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the sauce. Set aside for now.

Step 4 - Prepare Toppings:

1. Cut the lime into wedges.

2. Coarsely chop the cilantro.

3. Thinly slice the radish.

4. Cut the avocado into wedges.

Step 5 - Heat Tortillas:

1. Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.

2. Warm each tortilla until it becomes pliable and slightly toasty, approximately 30 seconds per side.

3. Transfer the warmed tortillas to a shallow bowl lined with a clean towel and wrap them to keep them warm.

Step 6 - Cook Lion's Mane Mushrooms:

1. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan. Once the oil starts to shimmer, cook the lion's mane mushrooms in small batches to avoid overcrowding.

2. Allow the mushrooms to brown and caramelize on one side before stirring, which takes about 3-5 minutes.

3. Once all the mushrooms are cooked, set them aside.

Step 7 - Assemble Tacos:

1. Unwrap the tortillas and build your tacos with lion's mane mushrooms, pickled onions, avocado, radish, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
