Ingredients

• 2-4 medium tortillas
• 6-8oz mushrooms, sliced
• 1 small onion, diced

• 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• vegan cheese shreds
• 1 avocado, sliced
• Additional, for pan: EVOO or vegan butter

Instructions

1. Warm a large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil, onion and mushrooms. Saute for 2-5 minutes, or until mushrooms are soft and tender. Add a handful of chopped spinach, fold in to wilt. Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Transfer mushroom mixture to a side dish. Add another drizzle of oil or vegan butter to the pan. Add the tortilla, vegan cheese, sliced avocado, more optional spinach and some of the skillet mushroom mixture. Add another tortilla over top. Cook for 2 minutes on each side. Allow enough time and heat for the cheese to melt. Applying a bit of pressure via a heavy lid can help melt cheese.
