Ingredients
  

  • Soft Shell Corn Tortillas 6-8
  • 1 Can Black Beans 15 oz, drained and rinsed
  • 1 Cup Daiya Mexican Shredded Cheese or any preferred vegan cheese
  • 1 Cup Mushrooms sliced
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil for sautéing mushrooms
  • 1 Teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ Cup Raw Red Onion finely chopped
  • ½ Cup Medium Salsa or mild, depending on your spice preference
  • 1 Ripe Avocado sliced or cubed
  • 2-3 Tablespoons Bitchin' Sauce or your favorite vegan sauce
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Tortilla Chips for a side

Instructions
 

Sauté the Mushrooms:

  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and tender.
  • Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the spices blend with the mushrooms. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Beans:

  • In a small saucepan, heat the black beans over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix in the sautéed mushrooms. Keep warm.

Assemble the Tacos:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Stand 3 tortillas upright in the pan, leaning against each other to form a taco shell shape. Sprinkle a generous amount of Daiya Mexican Shredded Cheese inside each taco shell.
  • Allow the cheese to melt and the tortillas to crisp slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
  • While the tacos are still heating up in the pan, layer the ingredients inside each taco shell. Start with a few spoonfuls of the black bean and mushroom mixture.
  • Add a handful of chopped raw red onion, a spoonful of medium salsa, and slices or cubes of ripe avocado.
  • Drizzle with Bitchin' Sauce, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Serve:

  • Transfer the assembled tacos to your plate while they’re still warm. Serve immediately with a side of tortilla chips and a refreshing beverage!
