Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) white mushrooms – chopped
  • 1 package flour tortillas (or corn tortillas for gluten-free)
  • 2 cups lettuce – chopped
  • 2 zucchinis – chopped
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion – chopped
  • 1/2 cup (56g) part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves – minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and pepper.
  2. Chop mushrooms, zucchini, onion, and garlic. Set aside.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil.
  4. Add vegetables to the skillet, sprinkle with the spice mixture, and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until tender. Remove from heat.
  5. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  6. Assemble tacos: Place ¼ cup of the vegetable mixture onto each tortilla, top with 1 tbsp lettuce and 1 tbsp cheese.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes:

  • Kidney-Friendly Adjustments: Limit cheese or use a low-phosphorus cheese alternative.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
  • Extra Protein: Add grilled tofu, shrimp, or chicken for a higher protein meal.
  • Topping Ideas: Try fresh cilantro, lime juice, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra flavor.
