Add in salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and chipotle chile powder and cook for another 5-6 minutes. 4. Add in beans and mix to combine. 5. In a large skillet, add 1/2 tablespoon salted butter and let melt on medium-low heat. 6. Once melted, add in a tortilla and then 1/2 cup bean and mushroom mixture and 1/4 cup pepper jack cheese to one side of the tortilla. 7. Increase fire to medium heat and let cook for 30 seconds, fold tortilla in half and let cook for another minute. Flip and cook for another minute or two until the tortilla is browned. 8. Remove from heat and slice into 3 slices. I like to use my pizza cutter for this. 9. Top with avocado cream sauce – instructions below 10. Finish the bean and mushroom mixture within the week.
