Ingredients
  

  • 4 King trumpet mushrooms (can also use baby Bella or portabello for more accessibility)
  • 5 Cloves Garlic
  • 2 Scallion
  • 3-4 Small Tortillas
  • 1/4 Bell Pepper
  • 1/4 Onion
  • 1.5 Teaspoon Jamaican Curry Powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Jamaican All Purpose Seasoning
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 Teaspoon No Salt Seasoning
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Grated Ginger
  • 2 Tablespoons Water
  • 2 Teaspoons Oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste

Simple & Quick Pico topping

  • 1 Roma Tomato
  • 1/3 Onion
  • 1 Tablespoon Chopped Parsley or cilantro
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Dried Basil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste
  • 1/3 Lemon juiced

Instructions
 

  • Chop your garlic, scallion, and onion very small. Leave the thyme as is.
  • Shred your mushroom with a fork until it resembles pulled chicken.
    Put oil in a pan on medium heat put the curry powder into the oil, immediately stirring. This is a Jamaican cooking method called" burning" your curry but you will not actually burn it, its just tempering.
  • Once the curry powder has been stirred into the oil for about 30 seconds, add in the mushrooms. Stir to combine well and over the pot, allowing the shrooms to cook for the next 5-7 minutes.
  • Once the mushrooms are cooked, add in the chopped herbs and allow those to sauté and cook. Add in the rest of the dry seasoning as well.
  • While the curry mushrooms are cooking, chop up your onion, tomato, and parsley required for the pico salsa topping. Mix in the lemon juice and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Once your curry mushroom has cooked fully, go ahead and toast your tortillas according to package instructions.
    Top with the mushroom mixture and pico and enjoy!
