Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces mushrooms
  • 8 ounces cauliflower, summer squash or zucchini*
  • 1/2 large onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • jalapeño or serrano pepper, minced to taste
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup (or tomato paste or salsa, see notes above)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (omit for nut allergy)
  • For serving: 4 taco shells or tortillas, cheese, sour cream, avocado, chopped onion and cilantro

Instructions

Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth, wiping dirt from the stems and caps. Finely mince them. Mince the other vegetables. Dice the onion.

Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high until hot. Add the minced mushroom and onion. Sprinkle with a little of the salt. Cover. Let cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes. Stir.

Continue to cook until the mushrooms and onions are very soft and browned. Stir in the other vegetables including hot chiles. Cover and let cook 1-2 minutes. Stir. Add a few tablespoons water if necessary to keep from sticking and burning.

Add the spices and ketchup. Cook until vegetables are tender. Stir in chopped walnuts. Serve.

Notes

I’ve used cauliflower florets and stems, broccoli stems, summer squashes or a combination of those – use whatever you have on hand
