    List of Ingredients




    2 Tbs (30 ml) olive oil
    5 scallions (spring onions), green and white parts, chopped
    1/2 lb (225 g) cremini or white mushrooms, finely chopped
    Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
    1/2 lb (225 g) chorizo, casing removed
    2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped, or to taste
    6 10-inch (25 cm) flour tortillas
    1 1/2 cups (375 ml) grated Monterey Jack cheese
    1/2 cup (125 ml) chopped cilantro (coriander leaves)

    Recipe



    Heat the oil in a skillet over moderate heat and saute the scallions,
    mushrooms, salt, and pepper until the mushrooms are tender and the
    mixture is dry, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a mixing bowl. In the
    same skillet, cook the chorizo, garlic, and jalapeno until the chorizo
    is browned, about 5 minutes. Combine with the mushroom mixture and
    divide among three of the tortillas, spreading it to within about 1
    inch (2 cm) of the edges. Top with the grated cheese and cilantro,
    followed by the remaining tortillas. Using a large spatula, transfer
    to a hot grill and grill over hot coals until the tortillas have grill
    marks and the cheese has melted, about 1 minute per side. Cut into
    wedges and serve immediately. Serves 6 to 8.
