Mushroom and bacon wraps

Autumn! Seems like there's more yellowing leaves every day. We have a tree in front of our window now that we've moved, which is brilliant because it's a constant reminder of the season. It makes me want to cook rich, flavourful dishes: pies, soups, stews. And this wrap, a very simple recipe that has a lot of autumnal flavour.

Mushrooms!
Ingredients (2 persons)
300 grams of mixed mushrooms; I used a 1:1 ratio of chestnut and oyster mushrooms
100 grams of smoked streaky bacon (in rashers)
1 red onion
4 (wholemeal) wraps
1 tbsp paprika
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Chop up the onion very finely and fry. Add the rashers of bacon. Fry until the onion is caramelized somewhat. Meanwhile, slice the chestnut mushrooms and roughly chop the oyster mushrooms into bite-sized chunks. Add to the bacon and onion. Now add the paprika and season to taste. You don't need much salt because you're using bacon! Fry until all the excess liquid of the mushrooms has bubbled away and the mushrooms have browned a bit. Heat the wraps in a microwave (should take about 20 seconds). Put the mixture on your wraps and serve, perhaps with some refried black beans.
