Many people are surprised to see the large amount of vegetables that are required to cook many traditional Mexican recipes. I will be the first in line for a good carne asada taco, but I do enjoy my vegetable dishes as well. A great example is tacos. Mushroom tacos are one of my favorite meatless tacos. So satisfying! And of course, I had to add in my favorite green chiles into the mix. Today I share with you my favorite recipes for mushroom tacos! Just in time for the season. Have fun with the garnishes and try both corn and flour tortillas.
