List of ingredients for Quick tortillas


* Soft tortillas, as many as required (see above)
* Slices of cheese - any variety you have available is suitable (better if melting variety)
* Softened butter, margarine, oil or your favourite spread (optional)
* Slices of cold meats (ham, prosciutto, mortadella, liver pate)
* Slices of anything you like and is in your fridge e.g. avocado, tomato, etc)
* A few leaves of lettuce (Cos, Iceberg, Chinese, etc) or a small handful of shredded lettuce
* Table salt/coarse sea salt (not too much) and freshly ground black pepper to taste
* To spice it up, a little bit of chilli or paprika powder (optional)

===Method===
* (Optional) Spread each tortilla with as much or as little oil/butter/marge/spread as you want
* Layer each one with slices of cheese - not necessary to go right to the edges
* Pop them in the microwave for 10-15 secs or under a preheated hot grill for 1-2 mins to melt the cheese till it bubbles
* Let the cheese cool slightly to make them easier to handle (careful - hot cheese can burn fingers)
* The cheese melting is optional too - I just feel it brings out its flavour that much better, especially if it's slightly charred, but without burning the tortilla of course
* Layer with slices of any delicious cold cuts
* Add the leaves or shredded lettuce.
* Season with salt, pepper and, as you wish, chilli or paprika powder
* Fold in half, roll up or fold in that fancy way into a pocket (for the latter, it's sometimes easier to put in the lettuce after the folding)
