Soft Tacos with Mushrooms, Onion, and Chipotle Chile
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 pound cremini, white button, or oyster mushrooms, cleaned, stems trimmed, and sliced
- Salt to taste
- 1 to 2 garlic cloves, to taste, minced
- 1 canned chipotle chile in adobo, seeded and chopped (more to taste)
- 2 tablespoons minced cilantro or flat-leaf parsley
- 8 corn tortillas
- 2 to 3 ounces queso fresco or ranchero, or feta, crumbled
- Fresh or bottled salsa if desired
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the onion.
- Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and turn the heat up to medium-high.
- Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms soften and begin to sweat.
- Turn the heat back to medium and add 1/2 teaspoon salt, the garlic and the chipotle.
- Continue to cook until the mushroom liquid has evaporated from the pan, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in the cilantro or parsley, taste and adjust seasonings.
- Heat the tortillas, 2 or 3 at a time, in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, or in a microwave.
