Switch up your taco night with these incredible mushroom, corn and poblano tacos! They are a quick, easy and light meal that your whole family will love! Thirty minutes are all you need to create Mexican night in your kitchen tonight. This recipe comes from Cooking Light, so you know it has to be good. And with only 390 calories for two tacos, go ahead and make yourself a frozen margarita! 
I am a huge Mexican food fan and Andrew and I usually have Mexican night at least twice a month. I was going to make our favorite beef tacos until I spotted this recipe in one my Cooking Light magazines that I have been neglecting for the past few weeks. They are so delicious and super easy to throw together on a busy weeknight that I know they will become a regular favorite in our house. Serve these tacos with Mexican rice and guacamole and your family will wish every night was taco night!

How can something so gorgeous looking be so low in calories?! Fabulous, and I adore mushrooms so looking forward to trying this.
These sound so tasty!
Those look awesome. I love this mushroom kick you’re on.
Wow… that’s great photo food styling, I can almost taste it. I think this is something perfect for the after Christmas season of over-indulgence!
Great idea to use mushrooms as the “meat.” These sound lovely!!
I’d like to come over for dinner next time you’re making these!
Yum!
These sound and look every bit as hearty as beef tacos!
you know what’s crazy? i’ve never made vegan friendly tacos before! i always make normal meat tacos/fajitas/burritos for my friends and i eat the rice, and sauteed veggies. i should try tossing some black beans and corn in hehe. thanks for the inspiration sweet pea
looking forward to your decadent posts for 2012!
Because of too much eating last holiday this is a perfect meal for me…I love eating mexican food also and this is a healthy one.
This is mind-blowingly delicious. My fiance and I agree: the world needs to know about this recipe.
