Instructions
- Ingredients are placed on tortillas across the middle as in fajitas or chinese mo she (make a diameter across the round with the ingredients).
- Start by using up to half an avocado (depending on yield) per tortilla - simply scoop out the flesh and lay it across.
- Next top with tomatoes and onion and cheese (saving a small bit of grated cheese for "glue").
- Roll the tortillas up into a tube, stuffing a small amount of cheese under the flap.
- On a medium-hot no-stick pan, drop a little butter and wait until melted.
- Roll the tortilla in the melted butter, letting go "flap down" so the cheese glue will melt it shut.
- Continue with all four tortillas, flipping each three times to grill all sides of the tube.
- They should be crispy.
- Serve hot and dip into salsa blend if desired.
- A fantastic brunch dish for two or appetizer (cut into thirds) for summer parties and the like.
- Try red or spring onions, various cheeses, add shredded lettuce - its a great recipe to build on.
- Once you get the hang of it, preparation (including chopping and grating) and cooking takes just twenty minutes.
- Faster with team effort!
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
