While walking through my dad’s vegetable garden, I got inspired to use those fresh veggies that surrounded me and make something delicious and why not healthy!
It reminded me of back in Europe, in my grandfather’s field. Around this time, there would be corn to be picked, fields of potatoes to be worked on and so much more! Memories of not wanting to work on the land but to enjoy myself at the beach while drinking something cool.
But, this time we enjoyed picked out some fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, parsley… it was such a treat!
Not wanting to spend an hour cooking a meal over the stove.
This time, we were more chopping, dicing up and muddling the ingredients and we were only 5 minutes sauteing a few of them. It was worth it, put them all together and we made homemade filled Tortilla Wrap!
Of course there are many ways to make them, but this was our way… inspired by the deliciousness of my dad’s garden.
Hope you enjoy making them as much as we did!
HOW TO MAKE OUR FILLED TORTILLA WRAP:
Hands up, I use a sharp knife to shave the corn right off the cob and into a bundt pan or a bowl. It keeps the corn from spilling all over the counter.
If you are using a bundt pan, stand one end of the corn cob on the middle of the pan. This will allows you to hold the corn cob securely so you can easily cut the corn kernels off the cob.
There you go, it took around 20 minutes and you prepared amazing and delicious homemade Tacos!
