Spicy Mushroom & Chipotlé Fundido

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Mexican
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large red onion thinly sliced
  • 12 ounces mushrooms sliced (baby bells, shiitake, oyster or wild mushroom mix)
  • 3 chipotlé chiles canned in adobo, seeded and minced
  • 1 chorizo sausage-optional found in the Mexican section of the grocery.  You can also buy fresh and sauté and drain.
  • 16 ounces whole milk mozzarella shredded (the commercial type, not fresh)
  • 3/4 tsp fresh thyme minced

  • 12-15 small flour tortillas

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350°.
  • In a large, non-stick pan add olive oil and heat over medium heat.  
  • Add the onions and cook for about 3 minutes until soft.
  • Add the mushrooms and cook until they are soft and all moisture has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in chiles and sausage.  
  • Season with fresh ground pepper. This can be made several hours in advance and warmed.
  • Add mixture to a shallow baking dish.
  • Add cheese to mushroom mixture and stir.
  • Wrap tortillas in a dampened tea towel and then in aluminum foil.
  • Place mushroom mixture and tortillas in oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese melts.

Notes

The mushroom mixture should be placed in the middle of the table with a spoon so everyone can scoop the mixture into their own tortilla.
