Ingredients

1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
8 ounces button mushrooms, diced
½ medium onion, diced (½ cup)
½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
8 ounces grass-fed ground beef
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
½ cup salsa
4 8" whole wheat tortillas (or 8, 4" corn tortillas)

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lime, and paprika. Set aside.
Heat a 10-12” stainless steel skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add oil.
Once oil is shimmering, add mushrooms and onions. Sprinkle with ¼ tsp salt. Sauté for ~5 minutes, stirring occasionally until mushrooms caramelize and turn golden brown.
Add ground beef, sprinkle with ¼ tsp salt, and break into small pieces. Once the beef begins to release some juices, add garlic and spices, and continue to cook until beef browns, ~5 minutes. Add salsa and stir to combine.
Warm tortillas. Build your tacos by placing meat/mushroom mixture on a whole wheat tortilla. Top with desired garnishes. Enjoy!
