Am I the only person who doesn't like these tortilla-wrap appetizers? To me,
they seem to be dry and just blah. Even dipped in salsa. I'd rather have
Doritos with a Velveeta dip.

Why waste good cream cheese?

Stuffed Mushrooms

3/4 - 1 pound mushrooms, stems removed and chopped
1/4 pound butter
I small onion diced
bread brumbs
8 oz. cream cheese

This isn't a correct recipe, but just guidelines.

Saute the onions in the butter and add the mushroom stems until they give up
their moisture. Remove from heat and add the cream cheese and mix well. Add
bread crumbs as needed to make a good consistency. Salt and pepper to taste.
Put into mushroom caps and bake in a 350 oven for about 20 minutes.

This is simple yet good. I prefer them to any crab-stuffed mushrooms I've ever
had.
