Ingredients
Scale
- For the shawarma spice mix:
- 2 tsp sweet paprika
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp ginger powder
- For the tahini guacamole:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 tbsp Mighty Sesame Co. Tahini
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- For the tacos:
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 16oz portabella mushrooms, sliced thick (about 3/4 inch slices )
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
- 3 cucumbers, peeled and diced
- 1/2 pint grape tomatoes, cut into quarters
- 6 corn or flour tortillas (taco size)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients of the spice mix in a small bowl and set aside
- To prepare the tahini guacamole, cut the avocados in half, remove the pit and scoop the flesh out using a spoon. Place it in a medium size bowl and mash it with a fork. Add the tahini, lemon juice and salt and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to use
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high in a large nonstick skillet. Add the mushrooms and spice mix and toss well. Cook for about 5 minutes, tossing frequently (the mushrooms will shrink considerably). Add the salt and set aside until ready to use
- To assemble the tacos, spread a heaping tablespoon of tahini guacamole on the tortilla. Arrange the mushrooms, cucumbers and tomatoes on top and garnish with cilantro (if using)
