Ingredients

  • 600g mushrooms , torn (we used a mix of chestnut, king oyster, oyster, enoki and button)
  • 1 red onion , sliced into thin wedges
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp dried coriander
  • 2 tsp dried mint
  • 150g Greek-style yogurt
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar

  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 avocado , sliced, to serve
  • 2 red chillies , finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 lime , juiced
  • 1 tsp caster sugar

Method

  1. Start by making the pickled chillies. Put the chillies in a small bowl, pour over the white wine vinegar, lime juice and caster sugar, along with a pinch of salt. Set aside for 30 mins.

  2. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 220C/200C/gas 7. Scatter the mushrooms and red onion in a roasting tin, drizzle with oil, then sprinkle with the coriander, mint and salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 mins until golden, crisp and shrunken, stirring halfway.

  3. Mix the yogurt with the white wine vinegar and chives and season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar.

  4. Warm the tortillas in the oven for a few minutes, then pile on the mushrooms, some herby yogurt and avocado, and scatter over the pickled chillies.
