"It's all about how you cook mushrooms when it comes to fantastic flavor and textures. We ate the leftovers from these tacos for three days in a row. That's how amazing this ancho chili lime sauce is. This recipe is for you if you want something with lots of flavors but is not too spicy. Smoking the Lion's Mane adds a lovely smoky but juicy flavor to the mushroom. If you don't have a smoker, roast the Lion's Mane and add a little liquid smoke."
