This is my version of governor tacos. I call it my own because this vegan tacos gobernador recipe is a recipe without shrimp, but equally delicious. This recipe uses cheese, poblano pepper, tomato, and mushrooms instead of shrimp.
What are tacos gobernador?
Tacos Gobernador come from Sinaloa, where supposedly the governor of the region always ordered his shrimp tacos covered in cheese and chili peppers. These tacos also became very famous in Baja California Norte and their fame has reached even San Diego and Los Angeles.
Like all Mexican foods, there are many versions of these tacos, but the base of chili, onion, shrimp, and cheese is the same in all versions of tacos Gobernador. I am allergic to shrimp, so I never ate them, until now that I made the vegan version.
Tacos gobernador ingredients
- Butter. I use vegan butter, the brands I like the most are Myokos, Country Crock, and Earth Balance. You can also substitute for olive oil, but it is really worth putting butter on it because it adds a creamy and delicious taste.
- Tomatoes. Small diced tomato, I like it chopped small so that it falls apart, and is deliciously perfect.
- Mushroom. For this recipe, I used cremini mushroom, but you can use white mushroom or portabellos. Do not salt the mushrooms until they begin to brown in the pot. This will prevent them from releasing all of their juices.
- Garlic, the garlic is sliced in this recipe. We don’t want it to burn.
- Poblano Peppers, while raw, cut into squares. You can read all about them in this post.
- Cheese, use a melty cheese, preferably Daiya or Violife.
- Corn Tortillas.
how to make tacos gobernador?
In a frying pan put the onion and garlic with butter, when they start to brown, put the mushrooms and leave until they begin to squeak. At this point, salt, poblano pepper, and tomatoes are added. Season with the rest of the ingredients and leave until everything is cooked and well seasoned.
In a pan, put the tortillas to heat, put grated cheese on each one, and put one or two tablespoons of the stew we just made, fold the tortillas and leave until the cheese is melted. Flip it over and let it brown a little on the other side.
How to serve these tacos?
It is best to serve them hot and squeeze a lemon on top. I like my tacos with a lot of lemon, but it is all up to you. You can also serve them with sliced onion and avocado.
Another idea is to finish them with pickled onions or authentic Mexican green salsa.
