Step-by-Step Instructions for Flavorful Vegan Carnitas with Crispy Mushrooms
- Begin by cleaning your king trumpet mushrooms under cool running water to remove any dirt. Once cleaned, slice the mushrooms into thin strips, mimicking the texture of traditional carnitas.
- In a mixing bowl, combine freshly squeezed citrus juice with cumin, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Toss the shredded mushrooms in the mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned mushrooms in a single layer. Roast for 25–35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until edges are golden brown and crispy.
- Once crispy, remove from the oven, warm your tortillas, and fill each with a generous portion of the mushroom mixture. Add your favorite toppings.

Notes
Ensure uniformity in mushroom slices for even cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, reheat in a skillet.
