Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by preparing the ingredients for our delicious tortilla sandwich. Get all your fresh ingredients ready.
Step 2
Wash the cabbage thoroughly and shred it as thinly as possible. Cabbage is especially sweet and delicious in the spring! Don’t be shy about adding plenty of this healthy vegetable.
Step 3
To ensure a cleaner taste, I briefly blanched the sandwich ham in boiling water (100°C) to remove any impurities. After blanching, rinse it under cold water and drain it well.
Step 4
Dice the carrot, onion, and ham into bite-sized pieces that are easy to eat and complement the sandwich filling.
Step 5
Slice the tomato into thick rounds, about 0.5 cm thick. Slicing them too thinly might cause them to break apart when cooked, so aim for a nice, substantial thickness.
Step 6
In a bowl with some depth, combine the shredded cabbage, diced onion, carrot, and ham. Crack in the 2 eggs, season lightly with salt and pepper, and gently mix everything together. Avoid over-mixing to prevent the eggs from becoming foamy. Ensure the vegetables and egg mixture are well combined.
Step 7
Now, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted, pour in the vegetable and egg mixture from step 5. Spread it out evenly in the pan to match the size of your tortilla, and cook until golden brown. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning.
Step 8
When the vegetable and egg mixture is halfway cooked and the edges are setting, carefully place one tortilla on top. Press down gently with your hand or a spatula to ensure the tortilla adheres well to the filling. This helps keep everything together later.
Step 9
It’s time to cook the other side! Carefully flip the tortilla over. Now, we’ll add the sandwich fillings to the cooked side. Layer with 1 leaf of lettuce → sliced tomato → 1 slice of cheese → half a string cheese → sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly → and finish with a drizzle of ketchup or your preferred sauce. Doesn’t it look incredibly abundant and appetizing? This is a universally loved snack!
Step 10
Feel free to customize the fillings to your liking! For example, adding corn kernels or chopped pickles can be delicious too. Now, fold the tortilla in half to create a crescent shape. Then, gently grill both sides over low heat until golden and crispy.
Step 11
The grilled tortilla shell is wonderfully crispy, and the inside is packed with satisfying ingredients – you’ll feel full just looking at it! Cut it in half for easy eating, and your delicious tortilla sandwich is complete!
Step 12
This sandwich pairs exceptionally well with a warm cup of Americano. Enjoy it as a delightful home brunch! I hope you have a wonderful time cooking. ♥
