Not an Egg-head

It is said that it takes 1,000 attempts before one can make a perfect tortilla, so this is somewhere between 50 and 992 for me.

(also follows the pancake law that the first one is always weird looking)

This is the recipe I was playing with today:

Homemade garlic corn tortillas (made with unbleached mesa)

under diced onion and peppers seasoned with chipotle

puree and cumin powder, all topped with fresh tomatoes

and avocado with a squeeze of lime.

A part of the beauty of this dish is versatility. I added egg whites into my veg mix while cooking and it came out perfectly, but it could just as easily accommodate meat or fish.

I am a vegetarian, so in the PCP I am receiving my protein from eggs. Unfortunately for me eggs are among my top 3 least favorite foods (eggs, olives, spaghetti) so I will be spending a good deal of effort masking their taste and texture.

Avoiding the Pitfalls

Hunger messes with you, and it makes a peanut butter
and Cap'n Crunch sandwich sound like a fantastic idea.

I've been mentally developing recipes for this project for weeks. My goal is to create menu plans over the course of this project so that making PCP meals isn’t a guessing game. Hopefully I will be able to refine a food plan that includes shopping lists, recipes, advanced prep, cook times, and variations. I’m just beginning and I have ideas about what will work and what wont but I’d like to hear from some of the veterans about their food challenges.
