Light Feta Tacos
8 ounces mushrooms (portobello, shiitake, oyster, or a mixture) trimmed (stems
removed if using shiitakes)
2 tablespoons chile-flavored oil or olive oil
2 poblano chiles
1/2 medium white onion, thinly sliced
8 lettuce leaves, washed and dried
2 ripe tomatoes, cut into 16 thin slices
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and cut into 16 thin slices
8 ounces feta, cut into 8 slices
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
Salt to taste
2 chipotle chiles in adobo, cut into thin strips, for garnish (optional)
4 sprigs fresh cilantro, for garnish
1. Heat a gas or charcoal grill or the broiler.
2. Brush the mushrooms with the oil and grill or broil, turning once,
until browned on both sides. Remove, cut into thin slices, and set aside on a
plate.
3. Place the poblano chiles on the grill or under the broiler and
roast, turning, until the skins blacken on all sides. Place in a bowl, cover
with plastic wrap, and allow to steam until cool. Remove the skins, stems, and
seeds and discard. Cut into thin strips and set aside on the plate with the
mushrooms.
4. Place the sliced onion in a colander, rinse under cold water, and
shake well to drain. Place on paper towels and pat dry, then place on the plate
with the mushrooms. Place the lettuce leaves, tomatoes, avocado, and feta in
piles on another plate close by.
5. Heat a medium skillet or griddle over medium heat. One at a time,
place the tortillas in the dry skillet and warm on each side until they become
pliable. Transfer to a work surface. Place a lettuce leaf on each tortilla and
top it with 2 tomato slices, a few strips of mushrooms and poblano, a few onion
slices, 2 avocado slices, and a slice of cheese. Sprinkle with salt and roll up
into a tube. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
6. To serve, place 2 tacos on each serving plate. Garnish with the
chipotle chiles, if using, and sprigs of cilantro. Serve immediately.
Makes 4 servings (2 tacos each).
