Fried chicken? Love it. Fried fish? Of course… with a squeeze of lemon and some tartar sauce, yum! Fried mushrooms… … … Don’t be scared. You've seen them on plenty of appetizers, and they fill these tacos with rich, yet crunchy umami goodness. With the heat from a feisty, “on fire” slaw and crispy jalapeños, these tacos will expand your mind on the varied world of "fried."

Meat lovers! Cook meat in a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat with 2 tsp. olive oil. If using ground beef, break up meat until no pink remains and beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. If using steak strips, separate into a single layer and pat dry. Stir occasionally until no pink remains and steak strips reach minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. If using diced chicken, pat dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir occasionally until chicken browns and reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using Impossible burger, break up burger until heated through, 4-6 minutes. Add to tacos as desired.

3 Prepare the Mushrooms
Return pan used to cook pepper to medium heat and add canola oil. Let oil heat, 5 minutes.
While oil heats, add tempura mix, 6 Tbsp. cold water, and a pinch of salt and pepper to another mixing bowl. Stir until a thick batter forms, like a pancake batter. If too thick, add additional cold water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. -

Line a plate with a paper towel.
Test oil temperature by adding a pinch of tempura batter to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.Dip mushrooms in tempura batter, coating evenly. Transfer coated mushrooms to hot oil and stir occasionally until golden all over, 3-4 minutes.Transfer mushrooms to towel-lined plate. -
