Gluten Free Quesadilla / Roti

I would call it a wrap. My Pakistani friend and neighbor would call it a roti or chapati.

Either way we would both call them tasty.

I found the recipe for these at Teafortumeric.com

Now wrap the ball in plastic wrap.

Pull off 1/4 or so of the ball and re wrap the rest.

Roll into ball and press down with palm.

Roll between sheets of parchment paper.

This is not what I was expecting, but its the first one.

An ugly one for sure.

Brush lightly with butter after flipping.

Make More

So this time I rolled out a bit better one.

Make Even Better Ones

So this time I roll a bit then press edges back into a circle.

This technique makes the shape I was hoping for.

See How Nice

Repeat rolling and cooking until you have used up all the dough.

Eat the Ugly One

I added shredded cheddar cheese, crushed meat balls, green olives and diced onion.

Microwaved for 15 seconds and folded over did the trick.

It was delicious.

Minor adjustments in water content, thickness and cooking time might be required.

Individual preferences will give a more personalized result.

A bit of hot pepper powder might be nice.
