Ingredients
  

Taco Filling
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
For Serving
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 large avocado diced, for topping
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro chopped, for topping
  • 1 lime cut into wedges, for serving

Method
 

Taco Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown.
  3. Stir in the fresh spinach, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-4 minutes, or until the spinach wilts down. Remove from heat.
  4. While the filling is cooking, warm the corn tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-60 seconds.
  5. Assemble the tacos by spooning the spinach and mushroom filling into the warm tortillas. Top with diced avocado and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
