Instructions

1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy texture for the wraps.

2

Heat the oil

Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.

Using medium heat prevents the oil from burning and maintains its flavor.

Ingredients needed for this step

olive oil
3

Cook the vegetables

Add the diced green pepper, chopped onion, and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Sauté until they are softened.

Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.

Choose a salsa with your preferred spice level to customize the flavor.

Incorporate the cheese

Mix in half of the shredded cheese until melted.

Melting the cheese in the mixture helps bind the filling together.

6

Fill the tortillas

Lay the tortillas flat and divide the vegetable mixture evenly among them.

Avoid overfilling to make wrapping easier.

7

Wrap the tortillas

Fold each tortilla into a burrito shape and place them seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Folding tightly ensures the filling stays inside during baking.

Ingredients needed for this step

8

Add cheese topping

Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the wraps.

For an extra golden crust, use a mix of cheeses like cheddar and mozzarella.

Ingredients needed for this step

9

Bake the wraps

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted.

Keep an eye on the wraps to avoid over-browning.

Serve and enjoy

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or chopped cilantro.

Serving with a variety of toppings allows everyone to customize their wrap.
