A low-carb hot bite to eat that's as quick as warming a pan and opening up your fridge.
A great alternative to the standard grilled-cheese sandwich. And about a 4-minute meal, start to finish.
Ingredients:
1 flour tortilla (I use Mission brand gluten-free)
Nonstick cooking spray
Cook's choice: Meats, cheeses, veggies and herbs (pictured is shredded pork and shredded mozzarella cheese)
Preparation:
Heat a cast iron pan or skillet on medium-high heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Cook & Serve:
Warm tortilla in hot skillet for 1 minute. Load up your toppings on half of the tortilla. Peek at the underside - is it golden brown? Flip the empty side of the tortilla onto the fillings. Cook one more minute until insides are melted. Cut in half and serve with fruit, chips or soup.
A Little Backstory:
Sky's the limit on insides to this melty goodness. Here are a few suggestions:
- Pizza Pocket replacement: Use real mozzarella, sliced pepperoni, basil and oregano
- Turkey lunchmeat, pre-cooked bacon, Swiss cheese and spinach leaves
- Roast beef lunchmeat, provolone cheese, frozen bag of peppers-onions combo (thaw in microwave)
- White cheddar cheese and thinly sliced apples
- Harvarti cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, fresh basil leaves, drizzle of honey
- Remember that whole roasted chicken and that pork butt I told you to cook ahead of time, shred and freeze? There are your protein bases. Add cheese and your imagination.
