Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Boil a kettle
Peel and grate your garlic
Chop your potatoes (skins on) into bite-sized pieces
Add your dried ancho chilli[es] to a bowl, cover with boiled water and set aside to soak

Combine half the grated garlic (you'll use the rest later!) in a bowl with 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Add the chopped potatoes to the bowl and give them a good mix up
Transfer the garlic coated potatoes to one side of a baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!)

Add your sweetcorn cobettes to a large piece of tin foil with a knob of butter, half your ground smoked paprika (save the rest for later!) and a pinch of salt and pepper
Scrunch the foil around the corn until tightly sealed and add to the baking tray[s]
Put the tray[s] in the oven for 30-35 min or until the corn is tender and the potatoes are crispy – these are your smoky corn cobettes and mojo de ajo potatoes

Meanwhile, peel and finely slice your red onion[s]
Drain the ancho chilli[es], then roll up and slice into thin strips (as finely as you can!), discard the seeds and stalk[s]
Dissolve your tomato paste, chipotle paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and vegetable stock mix in 350ml [475ml] [600ml] boiled water and add a pinch of salt and pepper – this is your birria-style stock

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add half the sliced onion (save the rest for later!) and your Fable pulled mushrooms and cook for 4 min or until the onion has softened
Once softened, add the remaining grated garlic, remaining ground smoked paprika and the sliced ancho chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!)
Cook for 30 secs or until fragrant

Once fragrant, add the birria-style stock and bring to the boil over a high heat and once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook, covered, for 15 min or until the mushrooms are warmed through and the sauce has thickened
Tip: The sauce should be slightly loose so you can dip in your finished tacos!
Once the mushrooms are warmed through, pull them apart using two forks and mix into the sauce – these are your birria-style meaty mushrooms

Meanwhile, grate your cheddar cheese
Trim, then slice your spring onion[s]
Chop your coriander finely, including the stalks
Once everything is nearly ready, add your tortillas to a baking tray and put them in the oven for 2-3 min or until they're warmed through (alternatively, add them to a plate and microwave!)

To serve, set the birria-style meaty mushrooms, warmed tortillas, grated cheese, remaining sliced onion and half the chopped coriander in the centre of the table (build into tacos then dip them back in the birria-style sauce for an authentic Mexican experience!)
Serve the smoky corn cobettes and mojo de ajo potatoes to the side
Top the corn with the sliced spring onion and the potatoes with the remaining coriander and dig in!
