Cook Time: 18 minutes

Green Giant product(s) used: Green Giant® Sliced Mushrooms

  • ½ pound ground chorizo

STEPS

1 Add chorizo to a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Use a spatula to break up chorizo and cook for 4 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and cook 2 minutes longer. Transfer mixture to a bowl and wipe skillet clean. Return to stovetop.
2 Sprinkle ½ cup cheese in skillet over medium heat. Place tortilla on top of cheese. Add one quarter of the mushroom mixture to one side of the tortilla and top with ¼ cup shredded cheese. Heat for 1-2 minutes to allow cheese to crisp under tortilla.
