Nutella-filled "Frenched" Tortillas

 

This post starts with a happy accident. 



I love to make french toast in the mornings for kiddo.  It's easy, no measuring....eggs, a little milk, sprinkle of sugar, dash of vanilla....whisk it all up...bread, pan, BAM!...french toast.



Well, a few weeks ago, I whisked up the eggs, milk, etc. and realized....I was OUT.OF. BREAD.



What's a girl to do?  In Texas, you might run out of bread, but you always have tortillas.  So, "frenched" tortillas were born and they are now a staple in our house.



Let me tell you how to make them.  Prepare....you are about to achieve domestic goddess status in 5 minutes.



OK....I like the start with these "ready-to-cook" tortillas.  But, these may be just a Texas thing. (They're in the refrigerated section at HEB, y'all.)  So, start with flour tortillas. (If they are the ready-to-cook kind, cook them.)



Whisk up 2 eggs, about 1/2 cup milk, a TBSP or so of sugar (or cinnamon-sugar), and a dash of vanilla.  (Eyeball it.)



Heat up a pan and add a pat of butter.....I like salted, but whatever you have.



Dip both sides of the tortilla in the egg mixture; let the excess drip off.  Cook briefly in the pan; flip and cook the other side (but you knew that).



Once cooked, add a spoonful (1-2 TBSP) of Nutella down the middle of each tortilla.  Roll.

 

{Don't you want to dive right in?}


Dust with powdered sugar.  If you're feeling fancy (and you probably are), heat up a bit of Nutella in the microwave.  Drizzle over the tortillas.



SOMEDAY, when kiddo goes off to college, he will come home for *THESE*.
