Instructions

1. Kale-Cabbage-Corn Slaw
2. To make the dressing, add the cilantro, red onion, vinegar, lime juice, chili powder, hot sauce, salt and honey into a food processor and pulse until smooth. Slowly pour in the avocado oil until combined.
3. In a large bowl add the kale and mix with a ¼ cup of the dressing and use your hands to massage into the kale.
4. Add the cabbage, corn, and another tablespoon of the dressing, stir to combine.
5. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
6. When ready to serve, taste and add more dressing if required.
7. Charred Jalapeño Crema:
8. Add all the crema ingredients into a food processor and pulse until smooth. Cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to use.
9. Sauté the mushrooms:
10. Rinse the mushrooms with cold water and allow them to dry on a towel.
11. Trim off the hard, woody ends of the stems, then slice the mushrooms into 1/4-inch-thick pieces.
12. Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
13. Sauté the mushrooms in batches so that they cook evenly and are not overcrowded. Cook the mushrooms until they are tender and slightly browned, 8-10 minutes.
14. Turn down the heat to low and add the garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Repeat the process for the second batch.
15. Add the first batch back into the skillet with the second batch to warm up.
16. Assemble the Tacos:
17. To assemble the tacos, place a pile of the slaw on the warmed tortilla, add a portion of mushrooms, a spoonful of crema and a crumble cotija cheese. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and enjoy!
