Preparation

  1. Prepare the Tinga Tomato Sauce

    • In a medium saucepan, combine the canned tomatoes, garlic, bay leaves, and chipotle chile peppers.
    • Mix the Knorr® Professional Caldo de Vegetales with water, then add this mixture to the saucepan with the tomatoes
    • Cook over medium heat for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened.
    • Transfer the tinga tomato sauce to a blender and blend until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous
    • Set aside.   

  2. Prepare Mushroom Tinga

    • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. 
    • Add the onion to the skillet and cook until it becomes golden brown and caramelized, approximately 10 minutes.
    • Incorporate the bay leaves, shiitake and oyster mushrooms into the skillet. Continue cooking for about 5 more minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and have taken on a golden brown color.
    • Season with salt and pepper according to taste. Note: Once the sauce is well incorporated, discard the bay leaves from the skillet.
    • Pour the previously prepared tinga tomato sauce over the cooked mushrooms in the skillet. Allow the mixture to cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the mushrooms begin to soften.   

  3. Assemble the Tacos

    • Warm a corn tortilla on a comal or skillet.
    • Add mushroom tinga on top of the tortilla.
    • Garnish and serve with sour cream and queso fresco.
