- Hey dudes, I'm Hilah and today on Hilah Cooking,
I'm making delicious portobello mushroom tacos.
These are actually vegetarian and even vegan, who knew?
But if your New Year's resolution is to eat more vegetables,
this is the recipe for you!
And if your New Year's resolution
is to eat more delicious tacos,
this is also a recipe for you.
(upbeat electronic music)
We're gonna start out by making
a little quick slaw
to go on our tacos, to add some crunch.
We got some finely shredded, purple cabbage here
and I'm gonna put a lot of salt on it.
Then massage it into the cabbage
until the cabbage starts to soften.
I'm doing this first because
it's just a good rule of thumb
that if you're making something that has multiple parts
and one of those parts is some kind of salad
or a cold accompaniment,
make that first, so that your hot food
is not waiting on your cold food,
when you're ready to serve.
Ok, so I don't know if you can tell if it looks
a little bit broken down, but I can feel that it's softened.
It's quite a bit softer than it was when I started
and that really just took a minute of crushing it.
I'm just gonna crush it!
Then I'm gonna squeeze in about a tablespoon of lime juice,
probably half of a lime.
Or a whole lime, if your lime sucks a dick like this one!
Ok, sometimes I add cilantro or sliced, fresh jalepenos
or green onions, but today I'm gonna keep it,
keep it simple, stupid.
But this is also a great little slaw to go on fish tacos
or anything, any kind of tacos, really.
So we can set this aside...
like that.
Then I've got a couple of very nice,
beautiful portobello mushrooms here,
that Chris picked out.
Thanks for paying such good attention
to the aesthetics, my love.
I'm going to brush them with a little bit of oil
and I've got a spice mix here that's smoked paprika,
salt, pepper and chili powder.
Look, I'm using a brush to stir.
My New Year's resolution is to live wild.
Brush 'em with a little oil,
mushrooms will soak up like, any amount of oil
that you put on them, so that's why I use a brush,
so they don't just get super oily.
Ok and then we'll sprinkle a little bit of our
seasoning on both sides
and a lot of it will fall off, but that's ok.
That's just the nature of the game.
Ok, so you can let these sit
as long as you want to or need to, before you cook them.
I'm gonna go ahead and do it now.
So I'm gonna heat up another small amount of oil,
a tablespoon, in my skillet over medium heat.
Put these in, put a lid on it
and let it cook for about four minutes,
then flip 'em and then let 'em cook
another four minutes or so,
until they're really nice and tender.
Then at the very end,
I'm gonna dash a little bit of soy sauce
over them and it's gonna soak right in
and it's just gonna add a lot of delicious,
rich, kinda meaty flavor, honestly.
I mean, these are vegetarian, but hey,
doesn't mean that we can't have
all that hearty goodness, right?
Then once your mushrooms are cooked,
we'll just slice 'em up and stick 'em in a taco,
the end.
Look gorgeous, they smell amazing
and smoky and chili-ey.
So if you wanted more vegetarian recipes,
I've got a vegetarian cooking course
that's out now, it's only 17 bucks
for the month of January.
It's 20 recipes, 10 videos and a four week meal plan.
So, check that out, I'll put a link below.
But for now, let's eat some tacos.
Sorry for saying tacos.
Woah, that mushroom squirted.
If this was summertime, you could totally
grill these mushrooms, outdoors would be amazing.
So I like to put a little of my slaw down on the bottom.
A couple slices of mushrooms
and then I made a little chipotle salsa
with just some tomato, chipotle,
some garlic, some oregano and some salt.
I just put that in a little pot
and cooked it over medium heat,
until the tomatoes cooked down
and turned into a salsa.
You can buy some salsa too,
but this is really, really good with it,
because you get the smoked paprika
and the chipotle flavs.
Then I'm gonna add a couple slices of avocado,
so let's give it a whirl, shall we?
Oh my God,
I'm gonna get my lipstick all over the tortilla.
These tacos are so amazing, I hope that you make these.
Your family will love them.
