A few weeks ago I tried making the "tortilla wrap" recipe that was posted somewhere on this site. I thought it was revolting, so I started thinking how I could make something similar to use as a sandwich wrap. Then the texture of the mock danish gave me an idea! :idea:
This was the result -- and I thought it was absolutely yummy!
1/4 cup ricotta cheese (3 carbs)
1 large egg (1 carb)
Beat the ricotta cheese and the egg together with a fork till smooth.
Butter the bottom of an 8 or 9 inch glass pie plate and pour half the mixture in the middle. It will spread out and form a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
Place in the microwave for about 1 minute -- times will vary based on the wattage of your oven. The edges will look dry, but the center might still be a bit "shiny." As long as the center isn't wiggly it's okay.
Next, carefully peel the "tortilla" from the pie plate. I used a wide spatula.
Then flip the tortilla into a non-stick fry pan and lightly brown it on both sides.
While you're browning the first one, you can cook the second one using the rest of the batter.
Browning it makes it a lot less fragile.
I took one tortilla, spread it with mayo, then put a couple of slices of turkey breast on it. I sliced about 3 mushrooms and spread them on the turkey. Then I sliced a quarter of a tomato and put that on the mushrooms. I sprinkled a quarter cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomatoes and then sprinked a quarter teaspoon of oregano. (I LOVE mozzarell, tomato and oregano together!) Then I spread the second tortilla with more mayo and put it on top of the stack. Then I popped it into the microwave for about a minute to melt the cheese.
It's too messy to eat with your fingers, but it was delicious!
You could put any kind of meat or cheese and veggies in there.
With the turkey, tomatoes, mushrooms, and mozzarella, the whole thing was about 5 or 6 carbs. I ate mine with raw spinach sprinkled with some good olive oil. I was completely satisfied when I finished.
I hope you'll enjoy this one!
