Meanwhile, to make salsa, combine tomatoes, corn, cucumber and lemon juice in a small bowl. Spray a nonstick frypan with oil and cook onion, capsicum and mushrooms over medium-high heat until soft. Add meat and cook until browned. Stir through chillies and coriander. Heat tortillas in microwave on HIGH for 30-60 seconds or until warm and flexible.
