Tomato Desperados
A few months ago I shared with you my recipe for Zucchini Desperados (please click on the green title to view). The Wikipedia meaning of "Desperado" is "a reckless or desperate person." The same thing happens with tomatoes - I become desperate to find ways to use my homegrown tomatoes. Instead of just letting them rott on the vine for future Tomato Throwing Wars I decided to create these "Tomato Desperados."
Printable Recipe Shells3 tortilla shells1 tablespoon melted butter1 tablespoon olive oilpepper to tasteCut the tortilla shells into quarters (see picture above)(this makes a total of 12 quarters). Place each quarter in a muffin tin. Combine the melted butter, olive oil & herbs and then brush a thin layer on the inside of each shell that has already been placed in the muffin tin.Bake in a 400 degree oven for 7 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool before filling.
Filling1 package cream cheese (room temperature)1/3 cup Parmesan cheese1/4 teaspoon hot red chili pepper (ground) (I use Indian chili pepper)1 small onion (peeled and finely chopped)1 carrot (peeled & shredded)
Prepare the ingredients as listed above. With an electric mixer - combine all ingredients until blended. 4 or 5 tomatoes (washed & cut into thick rounds) Cut the tomatoes. Now the "Desperados" are ready to be filled. First spread some of the filling (about 2 tablespoons worth) and then place a slice of tomato on the filling and finally top with a fresh sprig of cilantro, basil or parsley. Serve immediately & ENJOY!!(refrigerate any remaining "Desperados")
