SYLVIE'S VEGETABLE STUFFED TORTILLAS

Steps:

• In a large skillet heat the oil and fry the onion on a medium heat until it becomes transparent.
• Add the garlic and fry for a further minute.
• Add the tomatoes, courgette, mushrooms, balsamic vinegar and spices and simmer for around 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the kidney beans and roast pepper, simmer for a further 10 minutes.
• Divide the mixture between the tortillas (if you heat them very briefly in the microwave they become more flexible) and roll them up.
• Place the filled tortillas in a large baking dish, lined with baking paper or slightly greased, and sprinkle with your favourite cheese.
• Place in a preheated oven, 375°F/190°C/Gas 5, and bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese has becomes golden and bubbly and the edges of the tortillas are starting to colour.

GRILLED VEGETABLE TORTILLAS

• put 1/4 cup down the center of each tortilla, top with 1/4 cup of the cheese.
• Fold the tortilla into thirds.
• Heat the butter in a 10" skillet.

EGG-STUFFED TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat a comal or skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, cut freezer bag along either side to create a large plastic sheet; prepare the tortilla press by covering the bottom plate with half the sheet. Place a tortilla ball in the center of the bottom plate and flatten slightly with your hand; then cover the ball with the other half of the plastic sheet. Lower the press firmly so that the dough is sandwiched between the two plates. Open the press, flip the circle of dough (still sandwiched in plastic), and press again. Remove the flattened tortilla: it should be about 6 inches in diameter and an even thickness throughout.
• Place tortilla onto the preheated comal or skillet. Watch for the edge of the tortilla to begin to dry out and turn opaque, 1 minute. Flip and cook the other side until the tortilla turns opaque and blistery, 1 more minute. After the third flip, when the tortilla puffs up, use your fingers or a spatula to take it off the comal. Quickly use a paring knife to make a 2-3-inch slit along one edge (watch out for hot steam!): now you have a tortilla pocket. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then slide the egg into the tortilla pocket and add a sprinkle of salt. Return the tortilla, now holding the egg, to the comal. Cook the tortilla for about 1 minute per side (or longer, depending on how "done" you like your yolk), until the egg feels set and there's no visible uncooked egg white. Repeat with other tortillas and eggs.
• Serve immediately with pinch of salt on top and 1-2 spoonfuls of fresh salsa verde.

STUFFED ROLLED TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Spread about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the filling on each of the tortillas, then dot the filling with 2 tablespoons of the ricotta. Roll up the tortillas into tight cylinders.
• Spread 3/4 cup of the spaghetti sauce over the bottom of a baking dish large enough to hold the tortillas in a single layer.Set the tortills, seam side down, on the sauce. Spread the remaining sauce over the tortillas and top with the shredded cheese. Bake until the filling is hot and the cheese has melted, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile prepare the garnishes. Serve the tortillas hot and pass the garnishes.
