Portobello Mushroom Tacos FAQs
Can I serve my tacos in taco shells?
You can certainly serve your mushroom tacos in taco shells if you prefer. I love soft tacos, but crunchy ones are just as delicious! Part of the beauty of tacos is that you can easily make them to suit your own preferences.
What is the best way to store mushroom tacos?
The best way to store your leftover tacos is unassembled. If you store your tacos after assembly, they will get all soggy. Store the filling and the tortillas separately in air-tight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days. When you're ready to eat another taco, simply reheat, assemble, and enjoy!
