  • Now,add the sliced mushroom to the pan. Add the salt, red chilli flakes and mix well. Cook in medium flame. The mushroom will release water initially. Continue to cook until all the water evaporates and the mushrooms are dry and 80% cooked.

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F. Take a 8X8 baking pan. Cut the tortillas as per the size of the pan. Place 2 tortillas in the bottom of the baking pan. This would form the base of the casserole. Add half of the mushroom mixture on top of the tortilla and spread evenly.
