Shiitake Mushroom Tacos

May 28, 2013 by Cara

If you haven’t learned yet, the possibilities of turning veggies into hearty meal are endless. You just have to retrain your brain to view food differently. I take a look at mushrooms and immediately begin to make a mental list about everything a mushroom is. Meaty. Chewy. Mild in flavor. Then I ask myself what non-veggie substitute it would work best as until I get it: Carne Asada turned Shiitake Mushroom Tacos. I stand there at the grocery store for minutes in one place just thinking this sort of stuff.

Anyone who tells me that eating a mainly vegetarian diet isn’t satisfying hasn’t eaten at my house. Not to say that every body works well on a veggie-based diet–I do not understand anyone else’s body but my own, however what I do know is that veggies for dinner can be flippin’ tasty AND filling.

Even the man in your life will come to their meat-eating senses if you make them cauliflower for dinner or these meaty tacos. Mine did.

    It’s so annoying when people say a vegeterian/vegan diet isn’t satisfying. There are so many ingredients out there like shiitake mushrooms that are as good as anything when it comes to tasting great and filling you up. It’s just a mindset issue really.

    Thank you so much for a simple recipe that’s also delicious. So many recipes are too complicated! I loved this! I added carmelized onions and sautéed red peppers, a little bit of salt and pepper.

    I have a 14 yr old vegan son who said he might become vegetarian because I don’t feed him enough Vegan option. That I prepare the same things all the time and he’s bored. I think I’m in a cooking rit. I just copied the spring roll recipe and I’m about to copy the shitake tacos recipe then go yo the market for ingredients.. Any more goodies for a young teen Vegan?

    Cara, your recipes are so amazing! I need to add a few of them to our menu plan to try and persuade my picky meat eating husband into adding some more veggies to his diet!

    I hope you are doing well! We need to catch up soon! xoxo

    I love all the words in the title of this post. And these tacos look perfect for a warm summer day!

    I agree- people who don’t think vegetarian diets can be satisfying just haven’t eaten the right dishes. These look just delicious!

    Beautiful! These pictures are lovely! I am coming around about shiitake mushrooms. (Spell check thinks they should be called “Shiite” mushrooms, lol!) Anyway, they haven’t always been my favorite but I am beginning to appreciate them more recently. Good to see you posting so much lately, Cara!
