Serves 4, 2 tacos each
Ingredients:
4 ears corn on the cob
Olive oil
3 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 shallot
3 garlic cloves
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
3.5 oz shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and sliced
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 oz cream cheese
Juice of 1 lime
To Serve:
2 avocados, sliced or cubed
Jalapeños, sliced and seeds removed
Fresh cilantro
Cotija cheese, crumbled
8 corn tortillas
Cilantro creama or salsa
Directions:
Drizzle corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Massage into corn until covered.
Heat a grill over medium heat. Cook corn for 15 minutes, turning once midway through.
While corn is cooking, prepare mushrooms. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add butter. Once almost melted, add shallot and garlic. Sauté 3-4 minutes. Add mushrooms and combine with butter mixture. Turn heat down to medium. Add salt, pepper, paprika and cumin. Mix well and cook until softened, roughly 8-10 minutes. If mixture becomes a bit dry, feel free to add a splash of broth.
Remove corn from grill and let cool slightly. Shave kernels off of cob into a medium bowl. Add corn to mushroom mixture and combine. Return to stove over low heat. Add cream cheese and lime juice. Cook 3-5 more minutes or until cream cheese is melted. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Lightly toast tortillas in a dry, nonstick skillet or over open flame for 30 seconds on each side, using tongs to flip.
Set up assembly line with tortillas, mushroom/corn mixture and toppings. Assemble tacos as desired. Serve with rice and beans.
