cooking the mushrooms

1. Clean mushroom caps thoroughly under slowly running water. Be sure to remove all the dirt from the caps and stems.
2. Put mushroom caps in a small bowl and add oil.
3. After that, add coconut aminos and garlic salt to the mushrooms. Move the bowl around and make sure the caps are coated evenly!
4. Add mushrooms to your air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes, topside down, at 350 degrees (or 180 degrees C!). Flip mushrooms with about 2 minutes left to cook.

Assembling the tacos

1. Time for toppings! First, lay your tortillas flat.
2. Next, add the red cabbage to your tortilla.
3. Then, place mushroom slices over the red cabbage.
4. Top the mushrooms with guacamole.
5. Finally, top everything with pineapple salsa.
6. Enjoy!

serving ideas

Love the idea but on a low-carb or keto diet? Turn your taco into a bowl!

For instance, add brown rice and black beans to the base and top with mushrooms, red cabbage, pineapple salsa, and guacamole.

Looking for an extra kick? Add some jalapeños or hot sauce to the mix!

vegetarian taco toppings

Loving this recipe idea but don’t have any of the toppings?

No sweat! After all, the beauty of a taco is anything goes — literally.

No pineapple but looking for some acidity?

Try a salsa fresca with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice!

Fresh out of cabbage? Lettuce, spinach, or any leafy green you’d eat in a raw salad works for some crunch here, too.

Looking for a larger portion? Add some sautéed bell peppers and onions for more veggies or some black beans for extra protein.
