The inspiration for these tacos came from a trip to Mexico City, where I had the pleasure of eating some of the most amazing tacos I've ever tasted. One of my favorites was a mushroom taco with a creamy roasted red pepper sauce. I knew I had to recreate this dish at home, and after a few tries, I finally perfected the recipe. These tacos are now a staple in my kitchen, and I often make them for my friends and family. They're always a hit, and I know you'll love them too.
