Ingredients

  • =
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 4 flour tortillas, whole wheat or regular
  • 1 Cup chopped tomatoes
  • ¼ Cup or less chopped onion (to taste)
  • 1 Cup grated cheddar cheese
  • DIP
  • ½ Cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • ¼ Cup or so bottled salsa (medium is best)
  • butter for cooking
  • =

Directions

1

Ingredients are placed on tortillas across the middle as in fajitas or chinese mo she (make a diameter across the round with the ingredients).

2

Start by using up to half an avocado (depending on yield) per tortilla - simply scoop out the flesh and lay it across.

3

Next top with tomatoes and onion and cheese (saving a small bit of grated cheese for "glue").

4

Roll the tortillas up into a tube, stuffing a small amount of cheese under the flap.

5

On a medium-hot no-stick pan, drop a little butter and wait until melted.

6

Roll the tortilla in the melted butter, letting go "flap down" so the cheese glue will melt it shut.

7

Continue with all four tortillas, flipping each three times to grill all sides of the tube.

8

They should be crispy.

9

Serve hot and dip into salsa blend if desired.

10

A fantastic brunch dish for two or appetizer (cut into thirds) for summer parties and the like.

11

Try red or spring onions, various cheeses, add shredded lettuce - its a great recipe to build on.

12

Once you get the hang of it, preparation (including chopping and grating) and cooking takes just twenty minutes.

13

Faster with team effort!
