Ingredients:

  • 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for boiling potatoes)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 red pepper, chopped
  • 7 tortilla breads
  • 7 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Tomato pizza sauce
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon paprika
  • 1/4 tablespoon black pepper
  • 2 pinches of salt (for seasoning)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh or dried parsley (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Potatoes:
    • Begin by boiling the diced potatoes in salted water until they are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables:
    • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and chopped red pepper to the skillet.
    • Sauté the vegetables until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Season the Potatoes:
    • Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the paprika, black pepper, and two pinches of salt.
    • Add 2 tablespoons of water to help distribute the seasoning evenly. Let it simmer for an extra 2-3 minutes to let the flavors blend harmoniously.
  1. Assemble the Tortilla Wraps:
    • Lay out the tortilla breads on a clean surface.
    • Evenly coat each tortilla with a light layer of tomato sauce.
    • Spoon the potato and vegetable mixture evenly onto each tortilla, then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
  1. Cook the Wraps:
    • Fold the tortillas in half, pressing down lightly to seal them. In the same skillet, melt 2 teaspoons of butter over medium heat.
    • Place the filled tortillas in the skillet and cook each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  2. Garnish and Serve:
    • Once the wraps are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a serving plate.
    • Sprinkle the wraps with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh or dried parsley if desired.
