Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms. Cook and stir for three to four minutes or until lightly browned. Add the carrot, zucchini, taco seasoning mix and water, cook and stir to mix well. Lower heat to medium, then cover and cook about four minutes or until vegetables are tender. Uncover and bring to boil until juices evaporate. To serve, place about 50 ml (1/4 cup) filling in each taco shell and top with lettuce and to-
mato if desired. The tacos can also be served with guacamole. Makes 12 tacos. Tips: To save time, buy pre-sliced mushrooms and grate the carrot and zucchini in a food processor. To warm taco shells, separate and place the shells onto a baking tray and heat in 350 F (180 C) for 10 minutes or until hot. Variation: taco salad. Reduce oil to 15 ml (1 tbsp); add 250 g (1/2 lb) lean ground beef with onion and cook, stirring often until beef is browned. Then add the mushrooms, carrot and zucchini and continue as directed above. Serve hot mixture over salad greens and top with sour cream and chopped green onions. Garnish plate with tomato wedges and taco chips. For more delicious recipe ideas visit Mushrooms Canada at mushrooms.ca. newscanada.com
