A vegan spin on Birria Tacos made with Oyster Mushrooms. Birria tacos are these wonderful messy tacos that are pan-fried in a deliciously spicey consommé usually made from stewing the meat. If you don't like mushrooms you can use soy curls or your favorite meat replacement. I like to use a combination of different dried chiles for that authentic Mexican flavor but you can use any dried chiles you have. I used Violife shredded white cheese for the inside and I made some vegan queso fresco to top it off!

Instructions

Step 1

Take the seeds out of your peppers and toast them lightly with your seasonings to bring out those natural flavors.

Step 2

Char your tomatoes and onions then sautee in your garlic and ginger. Then deglaze your pot with some stock.

Step 3

Simmer together your charred vegetables and peppers in the stock and apple cider vinegar. Add in your seasonings and allow flavors to develop and shmingle together.

Step 4

Blend all these ingredients together with a hand blender or regular blender.

Step 5

Comb your oyster mushrooms with a fork to get that shredded texture. Saute your mushrooms in garlic and add some of your sauce and set aside for easy preparation.

Step 6

Dip your tortillas in your consommé and place it in the pan. Add your mushrooms and cheese then pan fry on both sides.
