Directions

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and 1 tablespoon add oil. Add mushrooms to pan and season with salt, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally until most of the moisture has evaporated, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Add ground meat and season with salt, if desired. Sauté until the meat is cooked through, about 10 minutes. 
Remove mushrooms and meat from pan and add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Sautee onions over medium heat until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add mushroom and meat mixture back to pan and season with chili powder, cilantro, pepper and lime juice. 
Serve with tortillas, salsa, avocados, cheese, shredded cabbage and fresh cilantro, if desired.
