I'll bet you

that just as putting something on a stick makes it automatically better, putting something in a tortilla works the same magic.

I was never very much into tortillas growing up until I moved across the country. And then I met her:

Okay, so maybe I didn't meet her exactly, but I did get to experience tortillas hot off the press. It's kind of a gimmick at some restaurants around here. Little did I know as I bit into my first hot tortilla dripping with salsa and butter that it wouldn't be too long until I would be that woman. Years on that hot press with burn marks up and down my arms have made me into a tortilla snob. It's also made me a lot more careful with the numbers of tortillas I eat - the ones I used to eat EACH had 10g of fat. And no more butter on them!

Luckily I live close to my favorite Mexican restaurant of all times. It's a dive, but the line is always out the door and the tortillas are phenomenal. And as I said before - they are great for wrapping things in. Especially snacks! Joelen is hosting a Fall Snack Adventure and has asked for submissions of fun fall snacks. Well these are both one handed snacks that use my favorite tortillas! Two snacks in one blog post? I must really love you!

Barbeque Burrito
2 Tbsp butter
4 eggs
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup barbeque sauce
2 flour tortillas

1. Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Beat eggs with fork and pour into skillet. Cook until almost done.
2. Add cheese and onions and cook one minute more.
3. Heat tortillas - if you have a gas range you can do what I do and heat them directly over the flame. Otherwise use a clean, dry skillet.
4. Divide egg mixture between two tortillas.
5. Equally divide barbeque sauce between two tortillas.
6. Roll up the tortilla to create a burrito.

Serves 2.
