  1. In a large pan over medium heat add about 1/2 tbsp of oil and sauté onions for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Remove them from the pan and add an additional 1 1/2 tbsp oil and add in your mushrooms. (I shredded my oyster mushrooms with my fingers but if using a different variety of mushrooms thinly slice instead.)
  3. Sauté mushrooms for 6-10 minutes until golden. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the onions back in an mix to combine. Cook until the mushrooms are nice and golden and cooked.
  4. Add the mushroom and onion mixture to a bowl and add in buffalo sauce. Mix to combine and add more if you want it more saucy!
  5. Form your grilled cheese by buttering up one side of each bread, then flip over to add a few slices of vegan cheese, then follow up with a generous amount of the buffalo mushroom mixture, then take to a pan or panini press to crisp up and allow cheese to melt. (Vegan cheese can be a little tricky to melt, I recommend adding 1 tsp of water to a pan & covering pan with a lid! Should do the trick.)
  6. Serve with extra uffalo sauce if you so desire and enjoy! 
  • Medium sized pan
  • 1/2-3/4 cup buffalo sauce
  • 16 ounces mixed mushrooms (I used a variety of oyster mushrooms)

Do this in batches leaving some room in between each taco. You can also bake them at 375 for 10 minutes… just brush with a little oil on both sides.
  5. For the creamy salsa, roast peeled tomatillos until charred on both sides and in a pot combine cashews, Serrano and garlic cloves and boil for 15—20 minutes ( you can Also boil these along with the potatoes to make it easier). Add the boil cashews, Serrano pepper (stem removed), garlic, tomatillos, a pinch of salt, 1/4 cup water and handful of cilantro to a blender and blend on high! Blend until smooth. Taste and add more salt if needed
