A quick meal, all rolled up into one.
 
My husband and are "retired" as in we have more time to stay busy.......LOL

Anyways, he and I concocted this for a quick lunchtime or light dinner on the weekends.

It's easy and takes one pan and a griddle (or however you heat up tortillas).

One steak.......sirloin, cross rib or what ever you have lingering in the freezer......lol
or even leftover steak will work. Make sure a majority the fat is trimmed off.
an onion
and a pack of already sliced up mushrooms, they have to be fresh ones none of those icky canned ones.

Slice the steak into thin slices maybe 3' long pieces.
Slice the onion into thin slices
Open the mushroom pack up.
Thinly sliced Cheddar or Monterrey Jack cheese.
Flour, Corn or those yummy Corn/flour tortillas.
I use less than a TSP. of olive oil in the whole recipe.

A little olive oil in a non stick pan, when the pan is heated up.
Throw in the onion cook till however you like the browned.
Take the onions out of the pan when they are the way you want them cooked.
Add a tad more olive oil into the pan.
Throw in the mushrooms, cook them till they are either browned or done the way you want them. I add a couple of dashes of soy sauce (low sodium) in there too. Remove from pan.
Add the steak cook until browned, toss in the onions and mushrooms heat through.
Prepare tortillas as desired.
To assemble....
Tortilla, cheese and steak mixture, roll up and eat. I splash on a little bit of Chipolte hot sauce on mine, my husband uses ketchup.

ENJOY!!

Sounds quick and tasty! Could do the same thing and replace the steak with chicken.

Sounds really tasty. How do people generally warm up a tortilla? Do you warm it before or after filling it? Thanks!

Warm it before so it is flexible.

BTW, I do something very similar to this but I use caramelized onions that I make in the crockpot. I make a big batch, freeze them flat, and then break off as much as I need for whatever I'm making. I also will slice leftover steak and freeze it the same way - just pulling out what I need for a single sandwich (or tortilla). You can google for the onions in a crockpot recipe.

I use a lot of onions when I cook. My husband loves them. I am going to try this and keep some in the freezer.
Thanks for the tip.

You warm the tortilla before you fill it. You can warm it up in a microwave by placing a single tortilla on a paper towel and heat for 25 seconds or until the tortilla start to "puff" up. Or, you can heat it on a griddle or in a frying pan until it starts to puff up and then quickly turn it over and heat the other side. You have to keep a close eye on them because it only takes a few seconds to heat up. The microwave method is my choice since I like them hot, but soft and pliable.
