Step 1

Add mushrooms, pepper strips, and green onions. Seal the bag; turn bag to coat vegetables. Marinate at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes. 3. Wrap tortillas in foil. Heat in a 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes to soften. 4. For filling, in a large nonstick skillet cook undrained mushroom mixture over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until sweet pepper is tender and all but about 2 tablespoons of the liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally. Stir in brown rice and almonds; heat through. 5. To serve, spoon mushroom-rice mixture onto tortillas; roll up. If desired, tie a green onion top around each tortilla and garnish with cilantro. If desired, serve with Bibb lettuce, lime wedges, and cherry tomatoes. Makes 4 servings.
