Ingredients
Scale
- 7 oz soft cheese (200 g)
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 1 slice of smoked meat (ham, turkey, or beef)
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 eggs (boiled, poached, or fried)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Olive oil for cooking and drizzling
- Tomato sauce for topping (optional)
For the tortilla dough:
- 4/5 cup all-purpose flour (130 g)
- 1/5 cup cornmeal (30 g)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup hot water (80 ml)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, and sugar. Stir in olive oil and hot water. Knead until a soft dough forms. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into small balls and roll them into thin circles.
- Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and cook each tortilla for 1–2 minutes on each side until lightly golden and puffed. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, prepare the fillings. Slice the tomato, cucumber, avocado, and smoked meat. Cook the eggs to your preference (boiled, poached, or fried).
- Assemble your stacks: place a tortilla on a plate, layer with slices of tomato, cucumber, smoked meat, avocado, soft cheese, and a cooked egg. Repeat for additional servings.
- Season with salt, pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and top with tomato sauce if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Customize with your favorite protein: grilled chicken, chickpeas, or tofu also work well.
- The tortilla dough can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- For a lighter version, use egg whites and low-fat cheese.
- Make it vegetarian by skipping the smoked meat or using a plant-based alternative.
- Add pickled onions or hot sauce for an extra kick of flavor.
