Make

  1. If cooking on a grill: Preheat grill to 500F / 260C degrees keeping one half over direct heat and one half over indirect heat. Clean grates and brush with some oil. Place corn, onions, tomatillos, and jalapenos over direct heat (use a grill basket for the smaller vegetables if you have one). Cook corn on all sides until lightly charred. Move corn to indirect heat and continue cooking until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Continue cooking onions, tomatillos, and jalapenos over direct heat until lightly charred. Set aside.
  2. If cooking on a grill: Brush mushrooms on both sides with some oil. Sear on both sides and continue cooking until tender, 8 to 10 minutes total.
  3. If cooking on stovetop / oven: Turn on oven’s broiler. Place corn on one half of a sheet pan. Spread onions, tomatillos, and jalapenos out on second half of sheet pan. (Use two pans if needed.) Broil aromatics and corn until lightly charred, turning everything to get them evenly cooked. When onions, tomatillos, and jalapenos are charred, remove from sheet pan and set aside. (Corn may need 6 to 8 minutes total, so let it keep cooking if needed.)
  4. If cooking on stovetop / oven: Slice mushrooms. Heat a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add some cooking oil and then mushrooms. Saute until tender, ~5 minutes.
  5. When mushrooms are finished cooking, combine onions, tomatillos, jalapenos, and garlic in a blender or food processor. Blend until roughly chopped. Add cilantro leaves and lime juice (portion for salsa) and continue to pulse until finely chopped. Add more lime juice if you’d like and season with some salt and pepper.
  6. Line corn up on a serving platter. Rub the tops with butter. Top with chili powder, crumbled cotija, and lime juice (portion for corn).
  7. Warm tortillas according to package directions.
  8. Assemble tacos by filling tortillas with lettuce, mushrooms, avocados, and salsa. Serve with corn on the side. Enjoy!
