This vibrant vegetarian dish brings together the smoky depth of roasted chillies and the natural sweetness of charred corn. Known as 'rajas' in Mexican cuisine, the strips of fire-roasted poblano and Anaheim peppers provide a mild heat that perfectly complements the earthy flavour of sautéed cremini mushrooms. Finished with fresh coriander and salty cheese, these tacos offer a sophisticated balance of textures and tastes that elevate a simple midweek meal into a celebration of authentic Mexican-inspired street food.
Perfect for a relaxed dinner with friends or a nutritious family lunch, these homemade tacos are as healthy as they are satisfying. The use of fresh corn and minimal oil keeps the dish light, while the combination of mushrooms and queso fresco ensures a protein-rich, savoury filling. Serve these with a generous spoonful of salsa quemada and a squeeze of lime to bring out the brightness of the ingredients. They are best enjoyed immediately while the corn tortillas are still warm and pliable.

How to make Mushroom, Rajas, and Corn Taco with Queso Fresco
Tillbaka till innehållRoast the chillies as for rajas and cut them into 1/2-inch dice.
Heat a heavy pan (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat until very hot.
In a bowl, toss the corn with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and a sprinkling of salt. Spread the corn in the hot pan and let it blacken slightly, without stirring, for 30 seconds. Have a lid ready in case the kernels begin to pop. Remove the roasted corn from the pan.
In the same pan, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Add the onion and diced chillies and cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft and beginning to brown. Season lightly with salt and remove from the pan.
Reduce the heat and add the remaining olive oil. Add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Return the corn and chillies to the pan and stir to reheat.
Turn off the heat and stir in the epazote, if using, black pepper, and queso fresco.
To assemble the tacos, spoon some vegetables onto a tortilla. Top with a generous tablespoon of salsa and sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of cotixa cheese over all. Top with a coriander sprig.
