Tortilla Mushroom Appetizer Recipes

MUSHROOM QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, shake the pan to distribute them evenly in the pan, and then cook without disturbing until the mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Do not add salt. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter along the side of the skillet if the skillet seems very dry. Toss the mushrooms, and continue to cook until nicely browned, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Season mushrooms with the chili powder and salt and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the chopped cilantro and set aside.
• Toast the tortillas directly on a medium gas burner, turning occasionally until slightly blistered on each side. (If you have an electric burner, do this in a dry cast-iron skillet.) Place the tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the jack cheese on one half of each tortilla, top with some of the mushrooms, and then sprinkle with the feta. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling, to make a half-moon shape. Lay another sheet of foil over the quesadillas. Bake until the cheese melts, about 12 minutes. Serve whole or sliced into wedges, with optional garnishes.

MUSHROOM AND BLACK BEAN TORTILLA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until browned, 7 minutes. Add garlic and cayenne; season with salt and pepper. Add black beans and stir to combine. Cook until beans are warmed through, 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Arrange 5 tortilla halves in a 2-quart baking dish. Top with half the bean mixture and 1/2 cup salsa, then sprinkle with one-third the cheese. Repeat with another layer of tortilla halves, bean mixture, salsa, and cheese. Top with remaining tortilla halves, salsa, and cheese.
• Cover with foil and bake until center is hot and cheese melts, 10 minutes. Uncover and bake until cheese is bubbling, 5 minutes.

MUSHROOM AND DILL TORTILLA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium, cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until they begin to lose their raw look, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and dill and cook until mushrooms are heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain off any liquids. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with salt, nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper. Pour over the mushroom mixture and stir to mix. Cook over medium low heat, pushing dry edges to center as it cooks. When center is still damp, slip under a preheated broiler and cook until top is beginning to brown. Cut into wedges. Serve with a tomato or savory salsa.

MUSHROOM AND ROASTED RED PEPPER TORTILLA

Steps:

Add mushrooms; sauté until vegetables are soft, about 7 minutes. Add red peppers; sauté 4 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to large bowl. Cool slightly. Wipe out skillet.
• Preheat broiler. Stir eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper into vegetables. Heat 1/4 cup oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add egg mixture; cook without stirring until just beginning to brown on bottom, about 3 minutes. Cover skillet; cook until eggs are cooked through, about 3 minutes. Uncover and broil until top is brown, about 3 minutes.
• Slide spatula around edges and under tortilla to loosen. Slide tortilla onto large plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
