  2. Cook the mushrooms: 

    For the BBQ: Preheat the grill and oil the grill grates. Reduce the heat to medium-high heat (375- 400 degrees F) then add the mushrooms. Grill with cover closed until browned and tender, about 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into strips.

    For the oven or air fryer: Preheat oven or air fryer to 400F. Air fry for 8-10 minutes or roast in the oven for 18-20 minutes until browned and tender, flipping over halfway through. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into strips.

  3. Make the sauce: Make the chipotle mayo by mixing the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

  4. Char the tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a pan over medium high heat for 10-20 seconds OR on the grill, about 2 minutes per side, with the grill open throughout the warming process OR directly on a gas burner for 5 seconds on each side.

    Assemble the tacos: Serve the sliced mushrooms in the warm tortillas. Top with some shredded cabbage, jalapeño, avocado, cilantro, pickled onions and a good drizzle of the chipotle mayo!
