Warming vegan birria tacos for cold nights in

Birria is a Mexican dish, traditionally made using goat meat. Unsurprisingly, this tender spicy stew only gets better when served in a taco. And because everyone should get a chance to try this delight, we’ve made you a vegan version. This recipe replaces the meat with different kinds of mushrooms to bring texture to the dish and by leaving it to stew for enough time, it develops a delicious umami flavour that will have everyone reaching for another bite.
