LOADED MUSHROOM SALSA CHILI

Steps:

• In a large cast iron kettle cook your beef and sausage over medium heat. Once the meat is semi getting brown add the veggies and turn the heat down and cook the veggies until tender slowly. This will allow the meat and veggies to marry.
• Now once your meat is cooked and veggies are tender, add the beans, tomato sauce, salsa and chipolte peppers with adobo sauce. Mix well. Now add your spices.
• Notes: The salsa I use is my own which I always add lots of corn to my salsa. If you can't find a salsa with added corn, just add either frozen corn or canned corn to the recipe.
• Another Note: This recipe can be done in the crock pot: Brown the beef and sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the remaining ingredients and cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

GREEN CHILE MUSHROOM SALSA BUTTER

Steps:

• In a food processor blend together salsa butter, and salt until combined well. (Salsa butter may be made 3 days ahead and covered, chilled.)
• To make the salsa:
• Heat a dry comal or flat iron griddle over moderately low heat until hot and pan-roast poblanos, tomatoes, and garlic, turning them occasionally to ensure even roasting, until browned and soft throughout, 25 to 30 minutes.
• While vegetables are roasting, if using dried morels, in a small bowl soak in hot water until soft, about 15 minutes. Remove morels from soaking liquid and halve. Strain soaking liquid through a sieve lined with paper towels into another small bowl, reserving soaking liquid. If using fresh morels, wash well, pat dry, trim, and halve.
• In a small heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté dried or fresh morels, stirring, until browned lightly, about 1 minute. If using dried morels, add reserved soaking liquid and boil until liquid is evaporated. Sauté dried or fresh morels, stirring until browned, about 3 minutes more.
• Wearing rubber gloves, stem and seed chiles. Discard tomato stems and garlic stems.
• In a food processor pulse chiles, tomatoes, garlic, morels, and epazote until chopped coarse (do not purée). In a bowl stir together chile mixture, water, and salt. (Salsa may be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring salsa to room temperature before using.) Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

PULLED MUSHROOM TACOS WITH SALSA GUILLE

Steps:

• Mushrooms:
• Shred mushrooms by pinching edge of caps and pulling apart all the way to the stem, like pulling string cheese. (Shreds needn't be uniform; the thinner strips will get crispier while the thicker ones will remain more meaty.)
• Pour oil into a cold medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot; add garlic and bay leaves. Set over high heat and cook until garlic is golden, about 5 minutes. Remove garlic and bay leaves with a slotted spoon; discard. Reduce heat to medium-high.
• Working in batches, fry mushrooms in garlic oil, tossing once or twice, until thinner pieces are browned and crisp but thicker pieces are still tender and meaty, 6-8 minutes. (Reduce heat if mushrooms are crisping too quickly.) Using a slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to a wire rack or paper-towel-lined baking sheet and let drain.
• Transfer mushrooms to a medium bowl, add lime zest and paprika, and season with salt. Toss to evenly coat. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
• Tacos:
• Heat a comal or large skillet over medium. Working in batches, toast tortillas until they begin to inflate, about 2 minutes then turn over and cook on other side until lightly charred in spots, about 2 minutes. Wrap tortillas in a kitchen towel to keep warm until ready to serve.
• To assemble tacos, spoon mushroom filling down center of a tortilla. Top with a blanket of salsa, then scatter onion, avocado, radishes, and cilantro over. Finish with a generous squeeze of lime.
