I couldn't believe how delicious this was, especially for being low in fat. I am now thinking of substituting portabella mushrooms for other recipes since it fills you up, gives a delicious flavor, yet is healthy. Very easy to make too.

Great idea for Portobellos, I had never oven roasted them before. I used dry oregano, and added the cayenne for a little kick.

These were absolutely delicious! I had the six inch tortillas and wanted to make 4 tortillas. I did not have enough portobella mushrooms, so I filled in with a small can of mushrooms. I drained them and baked them along with portobellos for the last 15 minutes. I baked my tortillas whole and sliced them in half to serve. I served them with diced tomatoes and sour cream. They were great!. Thanks Sue L!
