Ingredients

  • 3 white button mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach (roughly chopped)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 medium size flour tortilla
  • 1/4 cup grated cheese of your choice
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rub the mushroom with a clean kitchen towel and slice it thin.

  2. 2

    In a heavy bottom skillet, pour the oil and bring it to medium heat, then scatter the mushroom but don't add salt. Let it brown for 2 minutes by stirring it around.

  3. 3

    While that happens, whisk the egg and add a pinch of salt to it.

  4. 4

    Once the mushrooms are slightly brown, add the spinach and add a tiny pinch of salt (remember salt it already added to the egg while whisking)and stir around for 30 seconds.

  5. 5

    Then spread it out evenly and pour the egg on top and spread that out evenly too.

  6. 6

    Spread the grated cheese and place the tortilla on top. Let the egg cook and bind everything. It will take 1 minute. Then release the edges and flip the tortilla. Cook the other side for few seconds to 1 minute and then take it to a chopping board.

  7. 7

    While it's still a little warm, roll the tortilla. Now you could either pack it in a lunch box as a roll or, using a serrated knife, slice small pinwheels.
