Step-by-Step Instructions for Carnitas with Mushrooms
- Begin by cleaning the king trumpet mushrooms under cold water, then pat them dry with a towel. Shred the mushrooms until they resemble pulled meat.
- In a medium bowl, combine garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir together until well blended.
- Drizzle olive oil over the shredded mushrooms in a large mixing bowl while adding the seasoning mix. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned mushroom mixture evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25–35 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Once crispy, serve the mushrooms in warm tortillas with toppings such as avocado, shredded cabbage, and fresh salsa.

Notes
For optimal crispiness, ensure mushrooms are evenly spread on the baking sheet. Consider doubling the recipe for gatherings, and adjust spices to taste.
