A quick, cheap, energy-conserving hot snack.
A salsadilla is a quick homemade food item named after the quesadilla, but simplified to the basic ingredients of tortilla and salsa. This may sound plain, but it's a mighty efficient snack — no dishes, no cleanup! — that can be prepared in under one minute, and with the right supplies it's delicious.
Needed:
Directions
- light a burner on the stove.
- place a tortilla directly on the grate over the burner.
- turn and rotate the tortilla every 2 seconds to avoid burning.
- remove tortilla from flame after air bubbles form, but while still flexible.
- extinguish the burner, or turn it all the way down.
- administer a small splash of salsa to the tortilla.
- roll or fold the tortilla according to preference.
- eat.
Repeat as desired.
Why this snack is so efficient
- time: can be prepared in under 1 minute; a belly full takes 5 minutes.
- logistics: no cookware, silverware, or dishes are necessary.
- energy: no heat lost to cookware or dishwashing.
- cost: very inexpensive.
Notes
How to tell if you have good quality tortillas: they should taste approximately 4 to 10 times better when heated than they do when cold! They should also be less than a week old, and refrigerated since the time of purchase. As for excellent salsa: it should be good enough to be enjoyable even if served separately. |
