Ingredients
- ½ onion
- 5 oz mushrooms 150g, approx 1 large portobello or a few crimini
- 1 oz spinach 30g, around 1 cup, semi-packed
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoon black beans ¼ cup
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup cheese 90g - traditionally oaxaca/chihuahua but can use Monterey jack/cheddar. Blend also works, grated
- 4 tortillas corn or wheat (or 6 if smaller)
Instructions
- Dice the onion into a small dice and dice the mushrooms (I often cut in roughly ¼in slices then cut from there). Remove any tough stems from the spinach and break up larger leaves.
- Warm the oil in a small-medium skillet over a medium heat and fry the onion until it softens, a couple minutes. Add the mushrooms, turning up the heat if needed so any liquid evaporates as they cook.
- Once the mushrooms have softened, add the spinach, black beans, cumin and paprika. Cook, stirring, a minute until the spinach wilts. Remove everything from the pan onto a plate/to a bowl.
- Warm one tortilla at a time in the pan, turn over after a minute then sprinkle over approx ¼ cup of cheese. Put a layer of the mushroom mixture on one half of the tortilla, fold it over and cook briefly to get a slight crisp on the outside, or at least just to have the cheese fully softened. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and filing.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Note - ¼ cup cheese and ¼ of filling is about right for 8 inch tortillas, but you can use smaller or larger, as you have/prefer. Some of the photos above show using 6 inch tortillas which use a little less filling so you will fill around 6.
- If using corn tortillas, as I had here, make sure they are either soft corn or, better yet, traditional-style ones (that you find in the fridge section) as they are less likely to break as you warm and have a better flavor.
