Pulled Cajun mushroom tacos
This vegan main will keep everyone happy with its satisfying mix of mushrooms and spice, and the lemon-steeped red onions make a pretty finish for the wraps. You could add some pickled red cabbage for an even tangier hit.
Ingredients
Serves: 2
Ready in: 15 mins
VEGAN
- ¼ red onion, finely sliced
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 200g pack Co-op chestnut mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 tsp tomato purée
- 2 salad tomatoes, diced
- ½ red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 lime, ¾ squeezed, ¼ cut into wedges
- Small handful fresh coriander, finely chopped (optional)
- 2 tortilla wraps
- 1 avocado
- Salad leaves, to serve
- Hot sauce, to serve
Method
- Put the onion in a small bowl with the lemon juice and set aside to steep.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a low heat, then add the garlic and cook for 1 min.
- Add the mushrooms, stir in the Cajun seasoning, tomato purée and splash of water. Turn up the heat slightly and cook for 5-6 mins until golden and sticky. Season to taste.
- Meanwhile, combine the diced tomato, chilli and most of the lime juice, along with most of the coriander, if using (reserving some to serve). Heat the tortillas according to pack instructions.
- Slice the avocado, divide between the warmed wraps and roughly mash. Squeeze over the remaining lime juice and season.
- Pile on the mushrooms and top with some of the tomato salsa and a few salad leaves, then scatter over the remaining coriander and drizzle with hot sauce, if you like things spicy.
- Serve with more salad leaves and any remaining tomato salsa, plus the lime wedges.
