Let’s Celebrate the Food & Fandom of Fútbol Mexicano!
The sponsored partnership between Hispanic Kitchen and Buchanan’s is back – and this time, we’re all about Fútbol Mexicano!
Chef Eddie Garza spent another fun day in the FOX Deportes studio with host Giselle Zarur to celebrate Food & Fandom.

We can’t think of anything better than watching fútbol mexicano with friends and family, while eating tacos al pastor and drinking a peach & jalapeño cocktail.

SETAS TACOS AL PASTOR
FOR THE MARINADE:
(serves 8-10)
- 2 cups fresh pineapple, peeled and diced
- 4 chipotle chilies in adobo, plus 3 tablespoons of adobo sauce from the can
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- ½ cup white or yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon achiote paste or powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon salt
FOR THE TACOS:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 pounds oyster mushrooms, removed from clusters
- 8 to 10 corn tortillas
- 1 ½ cups diced fresh pineapple
- 1 small white or yellow onion, diced
- ½ bunch cilantro, chopped
PREPARATION:
To make the marinade
Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend for about 3 minutes. It can still have some pieces of pineapple that are not completely smooth. Pour over the mushrooms and marinate for at least 20 minutes. Discard the remaining marinade.
To make the tacos
Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Sauté the marinated mushrooms for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture will have a deep red color and will be quite spicy. Cook the mushrooms until they brown well, adjusting the heat as needed. Remove the mushrooms from the heat and serve on warm corn tortillas with fresh pineapple, onion, and cilantro.
