Ingredients

For the Miso Chili Oyster Mushrooms
2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil, divided
2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
2 teaspoons red miso paste
2 tablespoons honey
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes
1 teaspoon ground coriander
10 1/2 ounces oyster mushrooms

For the Tacos
8 corn tortillas
1 avocado, sliced
Pickled onions, for serving
Fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped, for serving
1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Miso Chili Sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of the oil, gluten-free soy sauce, red miso paste, honey, grated garlic, chili flakes, and ground coriander until the miso is completely incorporated and the sauce is smooth.

Step 2: Shred and Coat the Oyster Mushrooms

Using clean hands, tear the oyster mushrooms lengthwise into strips, following their natural fibers. Keep a mixture of thinner strands and slightly larger pieces for a combination of crisp edges and tender centers.

Add the shredded mushrooms to the bowl with the miso chili sauce. Toss gently with tongs until evenly coated.

Step 3: Cook the Mushrooms Until Sticky and Caramelized

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the coated oyster mushrooms along with any sauce remaining in the bowl. Spread the mushrooms into an even layer so that as many pieces as possible make direct contact with the skillet.

Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring and turning occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture, become tender, and begin to brown.

Continue cooking until the miso chili sauce reduces and coats the mushrooms and the edges are golden and lightly caramelized. Because the honey and miso can brown quickly, reduce the heat to medium if necessary.

Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and keep them warm.

Step 4: Warm the Corn Tortillas

Wipe out the skillet if necessary and return it to medium heat.

Warm the corn tortillas one at a time for about 20 to 30 seconds per side, or until heated through, soft, and pliable.

As each tortilla is warmed, stack it under a clean kitchen towel or loosely wrap the stack in foil to keep the tortillas soft until ready to assemble.

Step 5: Assemble the Oyster Mushroom Tacos

Divide the miso chili oyster mushrooms evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top with sliced avocado, pickled onions, and fresh cilantro.

Finish each taco with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and serve immediately.

Notes

Oyster mushrooms are ideal for these tacos because their layered structure naturally pulls apart into irregular strands. Tearing rather than chopping them creates textured edges that caramelize beautifully in the skillet.

Red miso gives the mushrooms a deep, savory fermented flavor. White miso can be substituted for a milder and slightly sweeter flavor.

For the best caramelization, use a skillet large enough to avoid overcrowding. If necessary, cook the mushrooms in two batches so they brown rather than steam.

For a vegan version, replace the honey with pure maple syrup or agave nectar.

Tamari can replace the gluten-free soy sauce. For a strictly gluten-free recipe, verify that the soy sauce or tamari, miso paste, and corn tortillas are all labeled gluten-free.

Additional toppings can include shredded cabbage, thinly sliced radishes, jalapeños, dairy-free crema, crumbled cheese, or a light drizzle of chili oil.

Store leftover cooked mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the mushrooms and fresh toppings separate. Reheat the mushrooms in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat until hot before assembling fresh tacos.
