These “meaty” tacos come together in 10 minutes and are a great alternative to the original. They have a delicious fresh flavor, are naturally gluten free and can be made vegan if you omit the cheese. They are filling without being heavy and because they are so simple to put together, they are perfect for lunch or dinner. This recipe uses button mushrooms, but for a deeper flavor try using portabella or crimini mushrooms.

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
