Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms soften and release their moisture.

Spread ½ tablespoon of butter on one side of a tortilla and place it buttered-side down in the skillet.

Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded cheese evenly across the tortilla, followed by a quarter of the mushroom mixture.

Step 8

Top with another ½ cup of shredded cheese and place another tortilla on top. Spread ½ tablespoon of butter on the top tortilla.

Step 9

Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
