# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The combination of sautéed mushrooms and sweet corn creates such incredible depth that no one misses the meat
  • Everything cooks in one pan so cleanup is minimal while still feeling like you made something special
  • The filling stays perfect in the fridge for days making it ideal for meal prep lunches
02 -
  • Warm your tortillas thoroughly because cold ones will crack and split the moment you try to fold them
  • Let the mushroom mixture cool slightly before assembling so the cheese does not melt instantly and make everything soggy
  • Do not skip the lime juice because it cuts through the richness of the beans and cheese
03 -
  • Pat your mushrooms dry with a paper towel before cooking so they brown instead of steam
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one because it gives the vegetables such nice color
