Instructions
Clean the portobello mushroom caps with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Slice them into 1/2-inch thick strips.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, chili powder, and black pepper.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the marinade and toss to coat. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Meanwhile, finely dice the red onion and chop the cilantro. Slice the avocado into thin strips.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated mushroom slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are slightly charred and cooked through.
While the mushrooms are grilling, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 30 seconds per side, until soft and pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a few mushroom slices on each tortilla. Top with diced red onion, cilantro, and avocado slices.
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top, and add salt to taste if desired.
