Ingredients
  

8 oz (225g) mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, or button), sliced

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 medium onion, finely chopped

1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup (60g) shredded mozzarella cheese

4 large flour tortillas or wraps

1 cup (90g) baby spinach, rinsed and dried

1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese

Cooking spray or additional olive oil for grilling

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the finely chopped onion. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Next, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, stirring well; sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown and have reduced in size, releasing their moisture. Stir in the minced garlic, fresh thyme (or dried thyme), smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is fragrant. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

    Prepare the Creamy Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded mozzarella. Add the sautéed mushroom mixture to the bowl and mix well until all ingredients are fully blended together into a creamy filling.

      Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the tortillas flat on a clean surface. On each tortilla, start by placing an even layer of fresh baby spinach in the center, followed by about 1/4 of the creamy mushroom filling. Ensure the filling is distributed evenly. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom, making sure the filling is securely tucked inside.

        Grill the Wraps: Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil. Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a beautiful golden-brown color and become crispy. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to grill in batches.

          Add the Finishing Touch: Once the wraps are golden and crispy, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the tops. If desired, gently press down on the wraps with a spatula to help the cheese adhere better. Grill for an additional minute until the cheese is slightly melted.

            Slice and Serve: Carefully remove the wraps from the skillet and allow them to cool for a minute before slicing each wrap in half diagonally. Serve warm alongside your choice of dipping sauce, such as marinara or a creamy garlic aioli.
