Method

01
Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/475°F/gas 9. 
02
Meanwhile, make the pickled onion. Place the sliced red onion in a bowl and pour over the vinegar. 
03
Add the salt, stir to combine, then set aside for at least 10 minutes. 
04
Place the battered mushrooms on a wire rack over a baking tray and bake for 5 minutes. Check to see if they’re warmed through and crispy. If not, return them to the oven for another few minutes. 
05
Warm the tortillas in a frying pan over a medium heat for 2 minutes on each side. 
06
To assemble the tacos, place each wrap on a plate and pile the battered mushrooms on them. Top with the avocado, lettuce and coriander, then drizzle over some tartare sauce and sriracha.

Fold the wraps over and serve.
