Sometimes, calling it "cooks" is a stretch. But today I started with an uncooked tortilla and made a sweet breakfast. I don't normally go for sweet breakfasts, but this was berry good. I was inspired by a site that said you could use a tortilla like a crêpe, with just a few modifications. My wife loves crêpes, but before I tried it on her, I had to test it out. I had just purchased some delicious blackberries and I have some blackberry jam. I thought I would try a quick version, and see if it works. I used an UNCOOKED tortilla for this experiment, although the other cook used a cooked one. Beside cooking and getting a nice brown color on the tortilla, there is no cooking involved. I plan to tweak this and let you know, but for now this is how it went:
I used a local uncooked flour tortilla from a company called La Flor. I toasted until golden brown and yet pliable. Then I spread a base of blackberry jam, also from a local source, down the center of the tortilla. I added a handful of blackberries on top of that, rolled the tortilla in crêpe fashion and added some whipped cream. It was marvelous. Now for the big test. the "Turkey" test. Stay tuned!
