How to prepare a tortilla sandwich
First, you need a tasty filling. You can choose vegetables, creamy sauces, fish or meat, vegan meat substitutes like tofu, as well as fresh herbs and spices. The possibilities for tortilla sandwich combinations are almost limitless. It’s not only delicious but also fun to experiment.
Once you have selected the ingredients, it’s time to stuff the tortilla.
How to do it: place the tortilla sheet on a large board. Using a sharp knife, make one cut from the center of the tortilla down to the edge. Mentally divide the tortilla into 4 parts and place the ingredients on each quarter, starting from the bottom left and moving clockwise.
More delicate ingredients, such as lettuce or fresh herbs, are best placed on the bottom left and top left quarters. When folded, they will end up in the middle of the tortilla sandwich and won’t overheat too much when frying in the pan.
