Now, let's get to business and start cooking. Here is a list of ingredients needed:

  • 4 medium whole wheat or flour tortillas
  • 1 ⅓ cup leftover mashed potatoes
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups grated cheese (mozzarella, Gouda, provolone, Muenster)
  • salt and pepper

1. In a large skillet, saute the onion in butter on a medium-low heat for about 7 minutes, until it softens and starts to brown.

    hello!
    i am diabetic so when i look to the nutritional information, i need the best explanation of how many carbs PER and what has 15 carbs?

    example : your nutritional information here says 15 carbs. the recipe says serves 4. so is this 15/serving?

    thank you for helping with my special needs with your recipes!

      Hi! I am using an automatic nutrition calculator. Please, double-check these with your calculator of choice (MyFitnessPal, for example). Both tortillas and potatoes are high in carbs. Happy cooking!
