Summer Fruit Tortillas/#DairyMonth

Tortillas are the best! When I am preparing food that normally goes on bread or a biscuit, I try to see if the recipe will work using a tortilla. These Summer Fruit Tortillas are fresh and taste amazing! 

 Just for fun, I stuffed the tortillas with strawberries, bananas, and blueberries. 

Add whipping cream, vanilla and sugar to a bowl. Beat the cream with a mixer until it thickens. Refrigerate until ready to use. 


  • Chop the strawberries into small bite sized pieces. 
  • Chop the bananas into small slices and then each slice into four pieces. 
  • Save a few pieces of strawberries, bananas and blueberries to garnish the tortilla when done.
Place the strawberries, blueberries and chopped bananas into a bowl. Refrigerate.

Spread the whipped cream onto the tortilla.

Add 2-3 spoonful of the mix of chopped fruit to the top of the whipped cream.

  • Chop 1/2 cup of chocolate into small pieces.
  • Melt on the stove or in the microwave.
  •  As it melts add 1-2 teaspoons of warm milk to the chocolate and mix until creamy.

Roll the tortillas into tight burritos.

Garnish the top of the burritos with the fruit.

Drizzle the chocolate onto the plated fruit tortilla and enjoy!

    Lemon Blueberry Tortilla Layer Cake / #LemonWeek

    Today for #LemonWeek I made a fun and easy treat, a Lemon Blueberry Tortilla Layer Cake! This recipe is simple to put together, has tasty fruits involved, such as lemon 😊, and will satisfy your urge for whipped cream, at least for a while! 

      


    I used some special flour tortillas to use as the layers. This recipe is totally no bake. I whipped up some whipping cream to use as the frosting portion of the cake. Add some lemon and blueberries and you will have a delicious, quick to put together, last minute snack cake!


    Welcome to #LemonWeek 2022 hosted by Lynn from Fresh April Flours  and Rebecca from Devour Dinner.  This week is sponsored by Rodelle and La Tourangelle. I may have received product samples from these sponsors to help in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own.

    Cake Decorating Tip 

    Cake Decorating Bag


       Place one tortilla on a clean surface. 

        Using a zester, apply lemon zest and the berries to      the top of the whipped cream.         

      

    Add a tortilla to the top of the  blueberries. Add the lemon zest and the blueberries to the top like you did to the first tortilla.  Then add a third tortilla to the top of the stack.

     Add a whipped cream layer on top of the tortilla. This layer will get just a few blueberries. Cut a thin slice of lemon, twist it on to the top. Zest more lemon to the top layer and add yellow sprinkles and a few blueberries.

    Enjoy!

    Chicken Tortillas

    Welcome to The Freshman Cook! Today I am joining a group of blogger friends to celebrate our Favorite Chicken Recipes, and I want to share mine with you also. 

    Most people who love chicken, have a favorite chicken meal. It may be fried chicken, or maybe chicken and rice, or your favorite just might be my favorite, Chicken Tortillas! 

    No matter what your favorite chicken dish is, chicken is delicious, easy to prepare, very versatile, perfect for a fancy meal or a weeknight dinner, and loved by almost everyone. 


    Chicken Tortillas
    (makes 2 full tortillas)
    (printable recipe at end of page)


    Ingredients:
    1-1.5 pound fresh raw Chicken 
    SW Chipotle Seasoning
    2 Cobs of Corn
    1 tbl. Jalapeno Pepper
    Butter
    2-3 tablespoon White Onion
    Salt and Pepper
    2 tablespoon Roma Tomato
    1 slice White Onion
    2 flour Tortillas
    Sour Cream
    Avocado



    Heat your grill to 350 degrees, or medium high. Cut the chicken breast into pieces as shown.  Sprinkle them with Southwest Chipotle seasoning. I use it because it tastes great, and you can sprinkle as shown above. It has a little bite, but it is not overwhelming or too hot. It is also salt free!

    Once the grill is ready, place the chicken, the pepper and the corn on the grill. Rub the corn with butter, and then lightly sprinkle the chipotle seasoning onto the corn. 

    Keep turning the pepper over as it chars the outside of the pepper. Once the chicken is finished cooking, let it sit, off of the heat for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken before serving.

    Cut the corn kernels from the cob. Set the kernels aside in a medium bowl.

    Split the jalapeno down the center. Remove the seeds.

    Remove the outer skin, and throw it away. Now you are left with the beautiful and tasty inside of the pepper.


    Slice 3 slices of onion and chop them into small pieces. Chop the tomato the same way.

    Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Add salt or pepper, if desired. Refrigerate until ready to eat.

     
    Take another slice of white onion, cut into small pieces, and cook until a little brown.

    Place tortillas on grill until warmed and slightly browned.

    Add sour cream and avocado slices for a fantastic meal! Slice the chicken, roll up a tortilla and enjoy your Chicken Tortillas!

    Grilled Fruit Tortilla Rollups/#Farmer's Market Week

    Because desserts are one of my favorite things, I thought I would end #FarmersMarketWeek on a sweet note with these Grilled Fruit Tortilla Rollups! They are easy to make and full of flavor. Plus, they can be put together easily and quickly. They are perfect for snacks, picnics or a light summer dessert.

    Grilled Fruit Tortilla Rollups:
    (makes 2 rollups)
    (printable recipe at end of page)

    1 dozen Fresh Blueberries
    1 Banana
    Fresh Pineapple Chunks
    1 Peach
    2 Flour Tortillas
    3 ounces Milk Chocolate Squares
    2-3 tbl Heavy Duty Whipping Cream(for melting chocolate in pan)
    1 cup Heavy Duty Whipping Cream  (for making Cinnamon Cream)
    1/2 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
    3 teaspoon Sugar
    melted Chocolate (for plate and top of tortilla)






    These tasty treats start with a flour tortilla and are filled with blueberries, a couple slices of banana, some pineapple, and a few peach slices. Of course I had to add some small chunks of chocolate too!

    Heat the grill to medium high heat. Roll up the tortillas and secure with a toothpick.





    Turn the tortillas to mark them with grill marks.                                     





    Once the marks have been made, remove the tortillas from the grill. 





    Use a frying pan to melt the chocolate squares and heat the cream.

    Once the chocolate is melted, combine the cream and chocolate together and stir until completely combined. Set aside to use for drizzle over the finished tortillas.


    Pour the heavy whipping cream into a medium mixing bowl. Add the cinnamon to the bowl, along with the sugar. Mix until thick and creamy.


    Put your plates together! Swirl some chocolate onto the middle of a plate. The plate I used is a 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" square. I used it sideways, just to create a different look. Place the 2 finished tortillas on the plate and garnish with the same fruits you put inside the tortilla. Drizzle some chocolate on top of the tortillas, and then top with a small scoop of the cinnamon whipped cream. Garnish with a few more blueberries! Enjoy this fun to make and fun to eat dessert.
