The Thursday Thoroughly Tantalizingly Tasty Tutorial To... Cooking

T⁷C: Tortilla Bowls

Hopefully this will need little introduction, as it sort of follows M⁷R, apart from instead of reviews it just simple recipes (and since it's me cooking they're normally going to be quick and simple recipes which will probably need improving). Anyway as the title suggests this week i made tortilla bowls. There is a pic below if you want to know what the heck a tortilla bowl is, but if you want to know why i made them, then that's simply because they sounded awesome. I served them with texmex minced beef, guacamole, and some tortilla chips on the side.

Ingredients: 

Flour Tortillas

Minced Beef

2 Avocados

An Onion

A Tomato

Lime Juice

2 Garlic Clove

Pepper

Cumin

Cayenne Pepper

Paprika

BBQ Sauce

Cheese

1) Scoop the insides of the avocados into a blender, and blend thoroughly, add half the onion chopped, a garlic clove, and lime juice (to taste) and blend again. Finally add the tomato chopped into chunks.

2) Find some oven-proof bowls that a tortilla can be shaped around and sandwich one tortilla between two bowls. Cook at 180° until golden brown.

3) Cook the minced beef with chopped pepper, onion and anything else you want to throw in. Add the cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika and BBQ Sauce to taste, and the garlic clove.

4) Dollop the beef into the tortilla bowl (having removed the bowls after taking it out the oven), sprinkle cheese on top and top with the guacamole.

 Having made these i can say whilst the bowls do look pretty cool, i'm not sure they're actually better than the other tortilla cooking methods, for this recipe it's probably better served with just plain uncooked tortillas or as quesadillas (fried in frying pan). However i think the bowls are probably very good for other situations, maybe parties due to their quirkiness. So that's that for this week really, simple eh? Tune in next week for another recipe, which i would say what it is but i don't know actually...
