# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These come together in under 40 minutes but taste like they simmered all afternoon
  • The mushroom and corn combination creates this incredible sweet and savory balance that even meat lovers request
02 -
  • Do not skip warming the tortillas because cold ones crack and split immediately when you try to roll them
  • Let the filling cool slightly before assembling, or the heat will make the tortillas soggy and difficult to work with
03 -
  • Cook the vegetables in batches if your skillet is crowded, or they will steam instead of getting that nice golden color
  • Squeeze excess liquid from the mushrooms after slicing if they seem especially wet, so the filling does not become soggy
