Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper
4 to 5 portobello mushrooms (about 1 pound), trimmed and cleaned
4 flour tortillas (10-inch)
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (2 1/2 cups)
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Grilled-Tomato Salsa, for serving
Sour cream, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium. In a small bowl, whisk together oil and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Brush both sides of mushrooms with oil mixture; starting with stem side up, grill mushrooms until tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp paring knife, 8 to 12 minutes, turning once. Remove from grill; slice 1/2 inch thick.
  • Layer one half of each tortilla with cheese, scallions, mushroom slices, and then more cheese, dividing toppings evenly. Fold tortilla over filling; using your hands, carefully transfer filled tortilla to grill. Cook until tortilla is slightly charred and cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with salsa, and garnish with sour cream, if desired.
