Is It Frittata or Is It Quiche Recipe

"This came about when wanting to make a light quick easy tea for the DM and myself. I started out thinking mushroom frittata but then there was 1 lonely tortilla there and I decided it need to be used so the following recipe was created. I photographed it step by step (after cooking up mushrooms) and is in this thread http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=289609. I didn't accurately measure the ingredients so they are approximate as is the timing. I served with a simple salad. You could cut into small wedges and serve as you would a pizza. You could of course use other fillings other than mushrooms, I have since used steamed vegetables or left over roast vegetables or ham or cooked chicken with vegetables, let your imagination run wild or depending on what you have left over in the fridge."

VARIATIONS - I have since made this several times and sometimes changing it for what I have on hand, for instance instead of a tortilla I have used flat bread, wraps or a thin pizza base and for other ingredients I have added crispy bacon, onion, tomato or used a mix of cheeses (sharp cheddar, parmesan and mozzarella). You could also make smaller ones by purchasing or making smaller tortilla wraps.
