Super Easy Soft Tortilla

This easy soft tortilla recipe can be customized depending on what you have in your fridge. I used a hot plate for this recipe (cause my stove broke) but you can easily use any griddle or fry pan for yours if you don't have a hot plate.

Super Easy Soft Tortilla

1 medium sized eggplant, thinly sliced
roast chicken meat
shredded cheese mix (this time I used cheddar, cheswick jack)
wheat flour tortilla
rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, olive oil

Season sliced eggplant with herbs, salt and pepper and olive oil. Make sure that all slices are coated with oil. Put seasoned eggplant slices on the hot plate and cook. Make sure both sides are nice and roasted.

Cooked Eggplant Slices

Take wheat flour tortilla. Feel free to use regular tortilla if you can't find wheat ones. I bought these at Rustan's

Heat one side of the tortilla on the hot plate for at least 30-45 seconds depending on how hot your hot plate is. Leave on hot plate and put shredded mozarella on the tortilla.

Sprinkle roast chicken meat and eggplant. Feel free to use store bought roast chicken (it makes it a lot easier if you don't feel like roasting your own chicken from scratch).

As you add the chicken and the eggplant, all your cheese should have already started melting so it should look something like this.

Sorry the photo is a bit dark

Season with additional salt and pepper if you wich. Once you're satisfied with your melted cheese, fold the tortilla into half and serve on a plate :)

This is what it would look like if you re-open your tortilla :)

Enjoy!

Holiday Feast Part 1 - Balut

For the next coming days, I will be posting photos and recipes of dishes I made during the holidays. In the Philippines Christmas Eve dinner (Noche Buena) and New Year's Eve dinner (Media Noche) are big celebrations. Families wait for the strike of midnight to celebrate Christmas/NY and eat until the wee hours of the morning. Since I visit my dad for the holidays, I only make a few "key" dishes, mostly desserts. Most of them I picked up from here and there and I customized and there are a couple that I made following the exact recipe. Let me start off with something that I didn't make but I purchased (just so I can move on to the ones I've made after). These are Balut. Don't worry, I won't show gory photos of the actual chic - just the egg :) Balut is basically duck embryo (and yes, it's the same one they eat on Fear Factor). I've only started eating balut in July of 2011 when my friends and I were in Boracay. They said that the Balut...

Tofu Steak

Here's another very easy tofu recipe. I served the tofu steaks with truffled mashed potatos and caramelized onions and mushrooms. Tofu Steak 2 blocks of tofu Salt Pepper Oil Paper Towels Squeeze out all the water from both tofu blocks with the paper towels. Make sure that most of the water is squeezed out. Best to wrap the tofu in paper towels and with a weighted object on top for about 30 mins. If you don't have the luxury of time, just make sure to squeeze out most of the liquid. Season with salt and pepper and fry over medium heat. For this particular dish, I had used a used frying pan after Mr. Man cooked his version of real meaty steak. :) Truffled Mashed Potato Boil 2 medium sized potatoes and mash. Add sour cream, a bit of butter, parsley, salt and pepper. Sprinkle slivers of truffles or just add truffle oil and serve. Caramelized Onions and Mushrooms Saute onion rings and mushrooms in a frying pan over medium heat unt...

Sun Dried Tomato Pesto on Angel Hair and Maple Mustard Chicken

This is a super fast and easy to do pasta recipe. Another good thing about this is that you can do it in advance and store in the fridge. My stored bottle only lasts about 1 week but I reckon it will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge. You just have to watch out for the basil leaves and make sure they're not too wilted. Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Ingredients: 300 grms of Sun Dried Tomatoes - I just use any brand that's available 1 pack of sweet basil leaves - I just buy the pre packed ones at the grocery, the more basil leaves the more flavorful 1/2-1 cup of grated parmasean cheese - better to use fresh but the dried bottle ones work too 1/2 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil - can be adjusted depending on how much basil leaves you use Salt & Pepper to taste Angel hair pasta (or any kind of pasta) Procedure: Grind sun dried tomatoes (with oil) and basil in a food processor, put in EVOO if mixture gets too dry. Put mixture in a bow...
