Ingredients

  • 1 oz spicy salami (about 5 slices)
  • 1 1/4 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup arugula, trimmed and washed
  • 1/2 pound assorted mushrooms, such as shiitake and cremini, stems trimmed, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup grated Fontina cheese (1 1/2 ounces)
  • 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 flour tortilla (8 inch)
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

Instructions

  • On a work surface, layer salami on half the tortilla. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
