Sauté onions in oil until tender, add garlic and peppers and cook for a few minutes. Add mushrooms, Worcestershire and eggplant and cook until eggplant is soft, about ten to twelve minutes. Cover during part of the cooking time and stir often.

Add remaining ingredients and cup of the cheese. Warm the tortillas and roll up a portion of the eggplant mix in each tortilla and place in a glass pan sprayed with nonstick spray. Top with remaining cheese and bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
