Mojito fish wraps

serves 2 - 4



Ingredients:

* Wraps
* White firm fish ( cod, panga, tilapia )
* Cabbage
* 1 tomato
* 1 avocado
* 1 red onion
* 2 limes
* 100ml olive oil
* 2 teaspoons of sugar
* 1 handful of mint
* Pepper and salt to taste
* Coriander
* Chili powder
* Garlic powder


Preparation:

Cut the cabbage in strips, the tomato and avocado in cubes, and the finely cut the onion. Mix together in a bowl.

Now prepare the mojito dressing: Add the  olive oil, the juice of the limes, and the sugar and mix. Add pepper and salt to taste. Now use a teaspoon or a mortar and pestle to bruise the mint leaves. Add them to the mix and blend well. Leave in the fridge.

Cut the fish in cubes and cover with the chili powder, the garlic powder and salt to taste. Heat up a skillet and stir fry the fish until it almost falls apart. Remove from the heat, and warm up your wraps in any way you like. Personally I used the microwave. Meanwhile mix the dressing (except the mint leaves!) with your salad and blend well. Cover the wrap with the fish, and the salad, decorate with coriander and roll up.

Enjoy your meal!

Quesadillas

serves 4 - 6 



Ingredients:

* 200g grated cheese (or more)
* 300g minced meat (beef)
* 1 jar of jalapeño slices
* 1 red pointy paprika
* 1 red onion
* 1 avocado
* 3 garlic cloves
* Creme Fraiche
* Wraps
* 1 teaspoon cumin powder
* 1 teaspoon paprika powder
* 0,5 teaspoon cayenne powder

Preparation:

Finely cut the vegetables, and cut the avocado in cubes.
Heat up a skillet or saute pan and fry the minced meat softly, breaking it apart in small pieces.
Add the onion, paprika and garlic and stir fry on high heat for 2 - 3 minutes. Add the herbs and mix well. Now add the jalapeño and the avocado and mix well. Remove from the heat.

Spread the creme fraiche on the wraps and cover with cheese. Add the meat mixture on it. Cover with another creme fraiche - cheese wrap and place in the oven on the grill stand. After the wrap starts to colour brown, turn around and let the other side turn brown. The cheese should be molten by now too, and your quesadilla is ready to eat.

Cut in 4 parts and serve with a salad, and if you like it a dip sauce.

I hope you like this recipe, and hopefully until next time!

Stir-fried Fish Wraps

serves 4 to 6


Ingredients:

* 500g fish (I used salmon, but any fish will do)
* 250g mushrooms
* Lettuce
* 1 sweet paprika
* 1 onion
* 2 gloves of garlic
* dill
* salt
* 1 spoon lemon juice
* Herb cheese
* Wraps
* Any sauce to your taste (I used BBQ honey sauce)

Preparations:

Finely cut the garlic and the onion. Slice the paprika and salmon in cubes, the mushrooms in slices and the lettuce in strips. Start by heating up a saute pan, and stir fry the onion, paprika and garlic until the onion looks glassy. Now add the mushrooms and stir-fry until they start to color. Add the fish and stir fry until half done. Now add the herbs and the lemon juice to your taste. Keep stirring until the fish is done. Turn off the heat and close the lid, leave alone for a minute or two.
Heat the wraps in the microwave. This is what I do: 20 sec on the highest setting. When done, spread the herb cheese lightly on the wrap. Add the fish mixture, lettuce, cover with your favourite sauce ( I recommend a sauce with a sweet taste to it), roll the wrap, and enjoy! I hope you like this recipe!

Yours truly,

Mike
