Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh mushrooms (shiitake or cremini), sliced

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

1 teaspoon soy sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large flour tortillas (or your preferred wraps)

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Hot sauce for serving

Instructions
 

Sauté the Mushrooms:

    - Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté them for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and become tender.

      Add Flavor:

        - To the skillet, add the minced garlic, fresh thyme, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir the ingredients together and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the flavors meld. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

          Prepare the Cheese Mixture:

            - In a medium mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until the two cheeses are smooth and well incorporated.

              Assemble the Wraps:

                - Place the flour tortillas flat on your work surface. Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture onto each tortilla. Next, evenly distribute the sautéed mushroom mixture across the spread, making sure to leave a little space at the edges. Top each with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

                  Roll the Wraps:

                    - Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then starting from the bottom, tightly roll the wrap upwards. Make sure the filling is securely enclosed within.

                      Crisp the Wraps:

                        - In the same skillet used for the mushrooms (wiping it clean if needed), add a splash of olive oil and heat over medium. Carefully place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

                          Serve:

                            - Once the wraps are crispy, transfer them from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Cut each wrap in half diagonally to showcase the cheesy filling. Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley and offer hot sauce on the side for an extra kick, if desired.

                              - Prep Time, Total Time, Servings: 15 minutes | 30 minutes | 4 servings
