# Components:

02 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Vegetables

05 - 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
06 - 200 g (7 oz) white mushrooms, sliced
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Sauce

08 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
09 - 250 ml (1 cup) beef broth
10 - 120 ml (1/2 cup) sour cream
11 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

→ Wraps

12 - 4 large flour tortillas

→ Garnishes

13 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until just browned. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, add sliced onion and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
03 - Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir thoroughly to coat. Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
04 - Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream and Dijon mustard until well combined. Return the seared beef to the skillet and heat through for 2-3 minutes, ensuring not to boil. Adjust seasoning as needed.
05 - Warm the large flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until pliable.
06 - Spoon the beef stroganoff mixture onto the center of each warmed tortilla. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, if using. Fold the tortillas into wraps.
07 - Serve the comfort wraps immediately while hot.
