1 9- or 10-inch Pan di Spagna — baked and
cooled
Espresso Syrup
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup very strong brewed espresso
1/4 cup Italian or other brandy

Cut the pan di spagna into vertical slices about 1/4-inch
thick. Place a layer of the slices in the bottom of a shallow
2-quart dish, such as a gratin dish, and soak with one-third
of the syrup, using a brush. Spread with half the filling.
Repeat with the pan di spagna on the top and soak with

Title: EASY MUSHROOM FILLED TORTILLIAS
Categories: Mexico
Yield: 1 Servings

1/2 c Fresh mushrooms
5 tb Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Oregano
Marjoram
Garlic
1/2 Bell pepper, sliced
– into bite-sized strips
1/2 sm Onion, thinly sliced
-and separated into rings
1 c Prepared salsa
2 Flour tortillias
Shreded cheddar cheese

Heat tortillias in oven along with serving plate at
low temp, as per package directions (ie: in foil so
they don’t dry out). (If you plan to do this in the
microwave, wait.)

Saute mushrooms, bell pepper, onions, garlic, with
seasonings in oil. I prefer somewhat crunchy bell
peppers, so i begin sauteing everything before cutting
up the pepper. This seems to get the timing right.
When the vegetables have reached

the desired level of doneness — I like my mushrooms
cooked to death — pour into the pan the salsa. Cook
together for several more minutes.

Place the cheese and mushroom mixture in the tortilla,
roll and serve.

(This is a “what is edible in my refrigerator” recipe
that actually turned out well. So i thought i’d share.
I never thought of mushrooms in “Mexican” food before.
‘Course we made shark fajitas a few weeks ago with soy
sauce, so “authentic” doesn’t seem to make a dent with
me except for how i fix refried beans.) — Judith
