Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • ½ Onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves of Garlic, minced
  • 200g Ground Beef
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, to taste
  • Olive Oil
  • 10g Parsley or Green Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 Tortillas 23 cm in diameter
  • Mozzarella Cheese, shredded

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut Inner Circle: Take one tortilla and carefully cut about an inch from the edge all around to create a smaller circle inside. Remove the inner circle and dice it for use in the filling.
  2. Heat Oil: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil.
  3. Sauté Onion: Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent.
  4. Add Garlic and Tortilla Pieces: Add the minced garlic and diced inner tortilla pieces. Continue to fry for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Cook Beef: Add the ground beef to the pan. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  6. Season: Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  7. Add Herbs: Stir in the chopped parsley or green onion, then remove the filling from the heat and set aside.
  8. Lay Tortilla: Lay the larger tortilla flat on a clean surface.
  9. Add Cheese and Beef: Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese on the tortilla, leaving a border around the edges. Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly over the cheese.
  10. Top with Smaller Tortilla: Place the smaller tortilla circle on top of the beef. Add more mozzarella around the edge between the two tortilla layers to help seal them when cooked.
  11. Heat Skillet: Return the skillet to medium heat and add a bit more olive oil or butter.
  12. Cook First Side: Carefully transfer the assembled tortilla back to the skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes on one side.
  13. Flip Tortilla: Use a plate to help flip the tortilla over, then slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until crispy and the cheese is melted.
  14. Cool and Serve: Once both sides are golden and crispy, remove from the skillet and let it cool slightly before cutting. Serve warm.
