7 Quick Takes, Vol. 5

--- 1 ---

I'm cheating a little bit this week for my quick takes. I had a fairly low-key week, so I thought I would share an easy 6-step recipe for a tortilla sandwich. Tortilla sandwiches is an easy meal I discovered when I wanted a grilled cheese sandwich, but didn't have any bread. So I used tortillas! Since then, I've expanded on the recipe and it's one of my favorite, easy meals.

Basic Ingredients:

-Tortillas- I've used either 1 large tortilla folded in half, or 2 smaller tortillas

-Beans (black beans or pinto beans)- I suppose you don't really need beans, but I love them and this is usually what I do with taco leftovers

-Cheese- absolutely necessary! Not only because I'm from WI and cheese is a staple in just about every meal, but also because it's what makes the tortillas stick together.

Additional Ingredients:
-Hamburger
-Tomatoes
-Salsa
-Refried beans
-Rice
-Taco Sauce/Enchilada Sauce/Hot Sauce
-Sour Cream
-Lettuce- although I put the lettuce on top of the tortilla, instead of grilling it inside of the sandwich

Directions:
Warm up the frying pan, and add about a tablespoon of olive oil, or whatever oil you have on hand, or butter. I like the flavor of the olive oil, and the way it makes the tortillas crispy.

Did I really need a picture of oil in a frying pan?

Layer the ingredients on the tortillas. I like to put some cheese on the bottom and on the top, to help it really stick together.

LOTS of cheese!

Put the sandwich in the hot pan, and cook on one side until the tortilla is warm and crispy. Flip, and do the same for the second side.

If you want, you can put lettuce and/or spinach and/or sour cream and/or salsa and/or hot sauce on top of the warm sandwich. Eat up, and enjoy!

I only had lettuce on hand, so that's what I used. But I also ate it with some ranch dressing,
which was surprisingly good!
