Smoky Mushroom Tacos Dorados

with Swiss Chard & Mojo Rojo Crema

These crispy fried tacos are typically filled with shredded chicken, beef, chorizo, or potatoes. To give these tacos dorados a smoky, "meaty" filling, we roast mushrooms in smoked paprika and ground, smoked jalapeƱos. Swiss chard adds savory earthiness and a dollop of velvety crema ties the spicy, saucy filling all together.

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Roast the smoky mushrooms

Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine 2 tbsp vegetable oil, mushrooms, just ¼ tsp chipotle morita, just 1 tsp smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper on baking sheet and toss. Arrange mushrooms in single layer and cook until browned and beginning to crisp, 15 to 18 minutes. (TIP: Add more chipotle morita if you prefer more spice.)

2
Make the mojo rojo crema

Meanwhile, whisk together cream cheese, just half the mojo rojo, 1 tsp warm water, and a pinch of salt in small bowl.

3
Cook the veggies

Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, chard stems, and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chard leaves and continue to cook until bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and remaining mojo rojo and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Transfer to medium bowl, add smoky mushrooms, and stir to combine. Wipe skillet clean.

4
Crisp the tacos

Lay tortillas on clean work surface. Spread some mojo rojo crema on half of each tortilla. Top with ¼ cup veggie filling and fold tortilla in half. Heat ½ tbsp vegetable oil in same skillet over medium heat. Add 3 tacos and cook until crispy, 1 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plate and repeat with remaining tacos and oil.
