Stuffed Tortilla Triangles Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Slowly cook and stir onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in spinach and salt. Stir in feta cheese, cottage cheese and egg. Cook and stir until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Unroll phyllo dough sheets one at a time on a flat surface. Brush with unsalted butter. Cut into strips approximately 5 inches wide. Place 1 tablespoon of the onion, spinach and feta mixture at one end of each dough strip. Fold the end of the strip over the filling so that it forms a triangle. Continue folding the strip in triangles until a small, triangular stuffed pastry remains. Brush with unsalted butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo dough.
• Arrange stuffed triangles on a large baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet to 370 degrees. Drop triangles in hot oil, 8 at a time. Fry, turning chips once or twice, until they stop sizzling and turn golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack set over a shallow pan. Sprinkle with salt immediately.

Steps:

• Line two 9 x 13 baking pans with tin foil, set aside.
• Make sauce by sauteing onions, garlic in a saucepan until soft.
• Add remaining sauce ingredients, except coriander.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat and stir in coriander.
• While sauce is simmering, saute onions, carrots, green pepper and garlic in a large saucepan.
• Cook until vegetables are softened (about 5 minutes).
• Add jalapeno pepper, chili powder, oregano and cumin.
• Cook for 1 more minute, remove from heat.
• Stir in beans, corn, lime juice and coriander.
• Mix well.
• To assemble, spread 3 spoonfuls of filling down center of tortilla, sprinkle with some cheese, fold to enclose filling and place seam-side down in baking dish.
• Repeat, leaving yourself with 1/4 cup cheddar.
• Pour sauce evenly over finished tortillas.
• Cover with aluminium foil and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
• Uncover, sprinkle with remaining cheese and return to oven for 5 more minutes.
• Serve with a dollop of sour cream.

Steps:

• Saute ground beef in its own fat in a large nonstick pan until it is brown and crumbled. Set to the side of the pan.
• Saute the onion, garlic and jalapeno until the onion begins to soften.
• Stir in the chili powder, cumin and tofu and continue cooking.
• Cut the tomatoes in quarters and squeeze out some of the seeds and juices. Dice and add to the pan. Stir the beef back into the other ingredients and add olives, wine, salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the liquid has been absorbed.
• Heat the tortillas in a toaster oven.
• Mix together the yogurt and sour cream.
• When the tortillas are warm, arrange 1/4 of the beef filling down the middle of each one and top with 2 tablespoons of the yogurt-sour cream mixture and 1 tablespoon of cilantro. Roll up and serve.

Steps:

• Make tomato sauce:
• Preheat broiler.
• Toss tomatoes with 1 tablespoon oil in a shallow baking pan and broil 4 to 5 inches from heat, turning once, until softened and skins are charred in spots, 15 to 20 minutes total.
• Blend tomatoes, water, onion, garlic, vinegar, chile, and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth (use caution with hot liquids).
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium- high heat until it shimmers, then add sauce and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Make pumpkin-seed sauce:
• Toast pumpkin seeds in a dry 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until all seeds have expanded but are still green, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.
• Coarsely chop 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds and set aside. Bring water, epazote, onion, garlic, and 1 1/4teaspoons salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Blend this mixture with remaining 1 3/4 cups pumpkin seeds in 2 batches in cleaned blender until smooth (use caution with hot liquids), about 5 minutes, transferring to a heavy medium saucepan. Season with salt.
• Make filling:
• Cook zucchini and onion in 2 tablespoons oil in heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then remove from heat. Add eggs, gently tossing to combine.
• Fry and fill tortillas:
• Heat remaining cup oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then soft-fry tortillas, 1 at a time, turning over once with tongs, until softened (not crisp or browned), 5 to 10 seconds. Transfer to paper towels to drain, blotting both sides, then stack tortillas to keep moist.
• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. 3Working with 1 tortilla at a time, dip in pumpkin-seed sauce to coat both sides, then transfer to a plate. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons egg filling down middle of tortilla, then roll up and arrange in a 13- by 9-inch baking dish.
• Cover with foil and bake until heated thourough, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, reheat sauces over low heat, stirring pumpkin-seed sauce frequently, just until hot. (Thin pumpkin-seed sauce with water if very thick.)
• Top papadzules with pumpkin-seed sauce. Sprinkle with chopped pumpkin seeds and serve tomato sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Spread about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the filling on each of the tortillas, then dot the filling with 2 tablespoons of the ricotta. Roll up the tortillas into tight cylinders.
• Spread 3/4 cup of the spaghetti sauce over the bottom of a baking dish large enough to hold the tortillas in a single layer.Set the tortills, seam side down, on the sauce. Spread the remaining sauce over the tortillas and top with the shredded cheese. Bake until the filling is hot and the cheese has melted, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile prepare the garnishes. Serve the tortillas hot and pass the garnishes.

Steps:

• 1. Stack and cut the tortillas in half to make 24 semi-circles. Working with each half separately, brush with water about 1/2-inch in, along all the edges. Then place 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the samosa filling on one side of the semi circle. Fold the other side over the filling to cover it. Press the edges well to seal in the filling. Repeat with the remaining halves.2. TO FRY: Heat the oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 325°F to 350°F on a frying thermometer, or when a small piece of the dough dropped into the hot oil rises to the top after 15 to 20 seconds. Place the samosas in the wok, as many as it can hold at one time without crowding, and fry, turning them a few times with a slotted spatula, until crispy and golden on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. (If the samosas brown too quickly, it means the heat is too high lower it.) Transfer to paper towels to drain, then serve.VARIATION: A similar samosa can be made with little (4-inch) square or round wonton skins. Since the wonton skins are thin and small, do not cut them in half. Each takes only about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the filling and they fry very quickly, in just about 1 minute.From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra.

• Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
• In a deep pan, heat two inches of oil to 350°F (180°C).

• Drain the triangles on a rack
• Serve with cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Brush each phyllo sheet with melted butter and stack one on top of the other on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, cut them lengthwise into 4 equal strips, each about 3 inches wide. You should have 24 long strips. Stack again and cover with a damp (not wet) clean cotton kitchen towel.2. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Working with each strip separately, place it lengthwise in front of you on the work surface and put about 1 tablespoon of the filling near the lower right corner. Fold the right corner over the filling to the left side to make a triangle. Repeatedly fold the stuffed triangle diagonally from one side to the other until you get to the end of the phyllo. Tuck in any extra to seal. In the end you should have a multi-folded triangle. Repeat with all the strips.3. Brush the top of all the triangles with the butter, place them on the baking sheet, and bake, turning once midway through baking, until crispy and golden, about 25 minutes. Transfer to cooling racks. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
