Ingredients
A Dinner-Time Favorite with Serious Flavor
These Wild Mushroom & Corn Tacos are the ultimate way to enjoy summer’s freshest ingredients. Savory wild mushrooms, sweet corn, and zesty lime crema come together in a vibrant, veggie-forward taco perfect for weeknight dinners, backyard gatherings, or your next farmers market haul.
Step 1
Prep the crema: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream (or yogurt), lime juice, zest, and salt. Chill in the fridge while preparing the rest.
Step 2
Sauté the veggies: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add red onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and mushrooms. Cook for 5–7 minutes until mushrooms are golden and tender.
Step 3
Add corn & season: Add fresh corn kernels and sauté for 2–3 more minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes or jalapeño for a little heat.
Step 4
Warm the tortillas: Toast tortillas in a dry skillet or over an open flame for 10–15 seconds per side until pliable.
Step 5
Assemble the tacos: Spoon the mushroom and corn mixture into each tortilla. Drizzle with lime crema and garnish with fresh cilantro and optional toppings like avocado, cotija cheese, or pickled onions.
