In a medium bowl, toss the shredded cabbage and cilantro with the lime juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1/4 tsp salt until evenly coated. Set aside while you prepare the filling — the slaw will soften slightly as it sits.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until the undersides are golden brown. Stir and continue cooking for another 3–4 minutes, until the mushrooms are deeply browned and any released liquid has evaporated.
