Instructions
Mushroom Filling
- Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan. Add the oregano, garlic and mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt
- Cover and sauté on medium low for 4 minutes.
- Add the peppers and sundried tomatoes. Simmer on medium for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are just tender. There should be plenty of water from the mushrooms, but if the pan gets dry add a few tablespoons of water.
- Add the cumin, chili powder and cayenne.
- Cook 2 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and there is no liquid in the pan.
- Add the balsamic vinegar and cilantro.
- Taste to adjust seasonings.
- Create your taco with toppings of choice.
- Finish with Vegan Sour Cream (recipe below) unless you want to go nut-free.
Vegan Sour Cream
- Place cashews in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for a minimum of 2 hours, preferably overnight or for 8 hours
- Drain and rinse the cashews and place in the blender.
- Add 1/4 cup of water, lemon, vinegar, and salt. Blend on high until smooth. You will probably have to stop and scrape down the blender now and then. Add a little more water to get it smooth if necessary.
- Once it’s smooth, taste and adjust seasonings. Transfer to a small container. The cream will thicken up as it sits.
