Tortillas - healthy fast food part 2
Staying on the topic of healthy fast food I'll share one of my favorite dishes with you. This is one of my go to things, when I'm nearing the chicken&salad-overdose. It's build on the idea of a pizza (which I fucking LOVE!), just healthier - and actually really tasty. I had some tortillas left over from my wraps and a desire for fast food so I decided to make this old favorite of mine. It's easy to make, it's incredibly fast and it's really good for cleaning out the fridge - just like homemade pizza, just pile all you old leftovers on that badboy and enjoy! You should really just use whats in your fridge, but here's what i used: 1 tortilla
2 tbsp tomato puree
½ onion
some leftover chicken
a handful of cherry tomatoes
a tiny bit of feta cheese
take your tortillas and smear the tomato puree on. Throw on the other ingredients and crumble the feta over. Set your oven to 200 degrees Celsius and bake the tortilla for 5 minutes or until the edges just turns crispy, you still want the center to be soft. Now is the time to go healthy and put all the good stuff on. I used:
a couple of lettuce leaves
½ avocado
3 tbsp of cottage cheese
A tiny drizzle of olive oil
The combination of crispy and soft and hot and cold, combined with the shitload of flavor this dish has makes it a sure winner. I swear that if i blind tasted a slice of this (and had no fucking clue about ingredients), you could have fooled me into thinking, this was actual junk food. I once served this for one of my most unhealthy friends who lives of junk food and never eats anything with any nutritional value and he loved it and totally agreed with me - this is a real substitute for fast food, without sacrificing taste, texture or anything and its brilliant for you!
I eat mine with my homemade chili sauce but I'm going to show that one another time.
