Instructions

  1. 1

    1. In a small bowl, combine the cucumber with the apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lime juice, 1/2 tablespoon (7.5 ml) honey, and 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 g) salt. Let it sit for 15 minutes while you prepare the rest.

  2. 2

    2. In another bowl, toss the mushrooms with the red onion, garlic, chipotle adobo sauce, cumin, smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon (7.5 ml) honey, 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    3. Preheat the Air Fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    4. Spread the mushroom mixture in the Air Fryer basket in an even layer. Cook at 390°F (200°C) for 8 minutes, shaking halfway through, until the mushrooms are browned at the edges and the onion is tender.

  5. 5

    5. While the mushrooms cook, blend or mash the avocado with the Greek yogurt, the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lime juice, water, 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 g) salt, and 1 tablespoon of the cilantro until smooth and creamy.

  6. 6

    6. Warm the tortillas slightly so they fold without cracking. Divide the cooked mushrooms and Oaxaca cheese among the tortillas, then fold them into tacos.

  7. 7

    7. Brush both sides of the tacos with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon (7.5 ml) olive oil. Arrange the tacos in the basket in a single layer with space between them. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 5 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway, until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese is melted.

  8. 8

    8. Lightly drain the pickled cucumber. Serve the tacos hot with the avocado cream, pickled cucumber, and the remaining cilantro on top.

Chef tips

Do not overcrowd the basket so the mushrooms brown instead of steaming. If your tortillas are stiff, warm them for 20 seconds before filling so they do not crack.

Substitutions

You can use button mushrooms, portobello, or oyster mushrooms. Oaxaca cheese can be replaced with mozzarella. For less heat, reduce the chipotle adobo sauce to 1 tablespoon.
