Vegan Oyster Mushroom Nachos are a great plant based version of fajita nachos! In just 30 minutes, you will have a vegan appetizer sure to be a major hit!

Oyster Mushrooms in Nachos?

Typically you might see oyster mushrooms fried like these Fried Oyster Mushrooms or Vegan Po Boy Sandwich. But because these mushrooms have a similar texture to chicken, I figured they would make the perfect vegan substitute for fajita nachos!

How to Serve Vegan Nachos?

I absolutely love loaded nachos! I added the oyster mushroom “meat” over my homemade air fryer tortilla chips and topped it with:

  • dairy free nacho cheese
  • store bought vegan sour cream
  • vegan guacamole 
  • fresh cilantro
  • fresh jalapeños
  • lime wedge 

How to Make Mushroom Nachos?

*Please read detailed and printable recipe card below for full ingredients and instructions.

  1. Split your oyster mushrooms to resemble shredded a “shredded chicken” texture. Next add your oyster mushrooms to a large mixing glass bowl your taco seasoning mix and marinate for 10 minutes. (Photo 1 & 2)
  2. Add your marinated mushrooms, with water, tomato paste, and additional taco seasoning to the skillet. Simmer until sauce has thickened for 3 – 5 minutes. Once done remove from heat and get ready to assemble your nachos. (Photo 3 & 4)
  3. Place tortilla chips in your pan topping it with your oyster mushroom meat along with vegan nacho cheese and other toppings of choice. Serve warm. (Photo 5 & 6)

Substitution, Cook, and Storage Tips:

  • If you do not have access to oyster mushrooms you can try this with any other mushrooms. I have personally only done this oyster mushrooms.
  • All the ingredients I used to top on these nachos, you can buy them store bought if you desire even the taco seasoning.
  • This recipe will keep for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator. It is not freezer friendly.

Instructions

Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix

  • Combined cornstarch, cumin powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, smoked paprika, chili powder, sea salt, and organic cane sugar in a small bowl or jar. Mixed together until fully combined and set aside.

Oyster Mushroom Taco Meat

  • First clean your oyster mushrooms by taking a damp paper towel and wiping your mushrooms off one by one. Don't rinse your mushrooms because mushrooms hold a lot of water.
  • Next, split your oyster mushrooms to resemble "shredded chicken". Next add your oyster mushrooms to a large mixing glass bowl along with 3 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning mix, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil. Toss until oyster mushrooms are fully coated. Cover with with saran wrap and allow mushrooms to marinate for 10 minutes.
  • Grab a cast iron skillet (or whatever skillet you have) and place over medium high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of grapeseed oil to your pan and then add your marinated mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté tossing for about 2 to 3 minutes until mushrooms soften a bit.
  • Next add water, tomato paste, and 2 teaspoons of homemade taco seasoning and mix with your mushrooms. Turn down heat to medium low and simmer until sauce has thickened for 3 – 5 minutes. Once done remove from heat and get ready to assemble your nachos.

Assembling of Nachos

  • You can use any toppings you desire these are just the ones I choose. Grab your air fryer tortilla chips and layer it in a pan, plate or cast iron skillet. Top with your oyster mushroom taco meat, dairy free vegan cheese, store bought sour cream, vegan guacamole, fresh cilantro, and fresh jalapenos.
