Ingredients
- 8 flour tortillas
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are soft and browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, then remove from heat.
- On half of each tortilla, sprinkle a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese, then layer the cooked spinach and mushrooms on top.
- Fold the tortillas over to create a half-moon shape and place them in a baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Cut into wedges and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
