1 cup presliced mushrooms |
1/2 cup thinly sliced onion |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic |
1 tablespoon sherry or red wine vinegar |
2 (10-inch) fat-free flour tortillas |
1 cup shredded cooked chicken breast (about 8 ounces) |
1 cup arugula |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded gruyère cheese |

Directions:
1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add mushrooms, sliced onion, salt, and pepper to pan; sauté 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, and sauté 30 seconds. Add vinegar; cook 30 seconds or until liquid almost evaporates.
2. Arrange half of mushroom mixture over half of each tortilla. Top each tortilla with 1/2 cup chicken, 1/2 cup arugula, and 1/4 cup cheese; fold tortillas in half.
3. Wipe pan clean with a paper towel. Heat pan over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add tortillas to pan. Place a heavy skillet on top of tortillas; cook 2 minutes on each side or until crisp.
