Kevin’s Natural Foods is hosting a Blogger Recipe Challenge! I'm a blogger and I'm ready to be challenged to share these Sheet Pan Mushroom Tacos today!
I'm a sucker for a sheet pan recipe.
"Do you mean all I have to do is put it in the oven and walk away until it's done?"
Yeah.
These tacos are no exception. The only real work comes in when it's time to make the creamy lime cilantro slaw. To make your sheet pan life even easier, Kevin’s Natural Foods makes EIGHT all-natural sauces that make meal prep a cinch: Thai Coconut, Korean BBQ, Lemongrass Basil, Cilantro Lime, Teriyaki, Tikka Masala,Tomatillo Taco and Classic Taco.
This recipe is keto-friendly if you omit the refried beans.
This recipe is paleo-friendly if you omit the sour cream in the coleslaw.
Either way, it's win-win for your gut if you try these tacos.
Something new I'm trying in 2020 is exploring the paleo lifestyle with less refined sugar. A weekly diet full of fruits and vegetables, select nut-free seeds and butters, lean meats (I need to work on this part) fish and fruit seed oils, such as olive oil or safflower oil seems the perfect way to go (but if I'm being honest, I'm going to still e a t cheese because nutritional yeast is nice, but it looks horrible on a charcuterie plate). Now that I've been introduced to Kevin's sauces, I can easily try new flavors and build upon these punches of flavor for my own recipes and weekly meal plans now and into the new year.
Spicy, with bits of tomato and chili, this classic taco sauce from Kevin’s Natural is great for starting your meal of right. Note: this sauce is NOT vegetarian, as it has chicken and beef product in it. It's a great starter for any omnivore who wants to spice up fresh vegetables or meat for taco night.

• Add something juicy. Top the tacos with sliced cherry tomatoes or pico de gallo.
• No cabbage? No worries. Use cucumber instead
• Add extra veggies. Julienned strips of bell peppers would be a sweet, colorful addition.
• Make it heartier. Use spaghetti squash, cauliflower florets or ground pork, chicken or beef
• Increase the crunch. Sprinkle on diced red onion, fresh corn kernels pickled red onion, sliced radishes, or pickled jalapeños

Mushrooms are the bulk of this recipe. Go all out and get as many varieties as you can: button, shittake, cremini, oyster, hen of the woods, enoki... the list goes on. Two pounds of mushrooms sounds like a lot, but once the 'shrooms cook down, not much heft is left on the pan. Their delicate, yet hearty bulk makes for good, clean eating and is the perfect filling for tacos.

The paleo diet takes us back to our primal roots—pure, nutritious, real-food ingredients with no artificial colors, preservatives or additives. While it may seem like a fad or trend to some, I can see how this lifestyle diet choice could be sustainable and feasible for me and my household to maintain for years to come.
