Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) vegetable oil
  • 1 pkg (227 g) Ontario White Button Mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 cloves Ontario Garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) chopped fresh Ontario Coriander Leaves
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) finely diced jalapeño pepper
  • 1 cup (250 mL) shredded Ontario White Aged Cheddar Cheese
  • 6 (6-inch/15 cm) corn tortillas

Instructions

In large nonstick skillet, heat half the oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and garlic and cook until softened and slightly coloured, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let cool. Stir in coriander, jalapeño and cheese.

Arrange 3 tortillas on large baking sheet. Divide and spread mushroom mixture evenly on top. Cover each with second tortilla, pressing down gently.
