cheesy goodness

[rootofnewt]

Chebe just shot themselves in the foot. Why, do you ask? Well, they finally printed directions for making wraps/flatbread on their packages. And I finally tried making them, using my handy dandy tortilla press. I mixed as usual, adding extra thyme and some onion powder, plenty of parmesan . . . flattened them in the press (turning and repressing about four times). . . cooking them on my cast iron griddle.

Slather with mayo, roll up with some smoked turkey . . . DAMN!

They are excellent. Why is this so bad for chebe? A package of chebe bread only makes four wraps/tortillas. And a package of chebe is pricey. This is the kick in the ass I needed to stop being so lazy and just mix up my pão de queijo from scratch. It's not even hard or time consuming to make. I just have to, y'know, take time to actually *measure* instead of cutting open cellophane and dumping the contents into the bowl of my KitchenAid. I'm pretty sure I can skip the first step of that recipe, too.

mmmm...sounds tasty (w/o the dead fowl of course ;)

Dead fowl was just convenient and needed to be consumed before it was wasted. It would be fine without anything at all. Or with hummus, mayo, sprouts, sun-dried tomato, olives, spinach, and avocado.

Oooooo I was looking for a wrap recipe! Why do you need a press? I have no idea how to make them!

The dough can be very stiff and hard to work. Rolling it would use up all of my energy reserves for a week. The tortilla press makes it easy--form ball, press, toss on griddle!

I love pae de queijo. I think after I move I need to start making it again. I remember my ex's mom getting big batches from a woman, and between my ex and I, it would be gone in a matter of a few days :)
Ah, happy food memories.
