Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoonsvegetable oil
  • 1 poundchanterelles or other wild mushrooms, roughly chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cupminced yellow onion
  • 4 ouncesgrated Oaxaca or domestic Muenster cheese
  • 4 ouncesgrated panela or aged mozzarella cheese
  • 4 ouncesgrated cotija or Parmesan cheese
  • ⅓ cupfinely chopped cilantro leaves
  • ½ teaspoondried oregano
  • 1 pinchground coriander
  • 8 pieces8-inch flour or corn tortillas

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. When oil shimmers, add mushrooms and a generous pinch of salt. Sauté until mushrooms release their liquid, liquid evaporates and mushrooms begin to brown, about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add onions. Sauté, adjusting heat as necessary, until onions are soft and entire mixture is golden brown but not burned, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Using a food processor or a knife, finely chop mushroom-onion mixture, then transfer to a large bowl. Add grated cheeses, cilantro, oregano and coriander. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Place a large nonstick or well-seasoned skillet over medium heat, and add remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Fill a tortilla with a spoonful of mushroom-cheese mixture, fold, and cook in skillet until browned and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Repeat until all tortillas are filled and cooked. Serve immediately.
