In anticipation of summer coming, I have started to look out some of my favourite BBQ recipes.  This must be one of the most versatile ones I have, as you can multiply the quantities depending on how many you are inviting.  You can equally vary the contents depending on taste, but I have to say this is one of my favourite one.  If you don’t have a BBQ you can do indoors on a griddle pan……but the outdoors flavour is the best.

Serves 2

Ingredients

2 large flour tortillas

6 slices of Parma ham

6 slices of gruyere cheese (use cheddar if you prefer)

6 fresh basil leaves (only use fresh)

6 green Jalapeno peppers – chopped or whole

Sour cream to serve

Olive oil to drizzle over the outside of the tortilla

Method

1. Heat your BBQ griddle to medium heat
2. Lay out one tortilla flat and fill one side with 3 slices ham, 3 gruyere cheese, 3 basil leaves, and 3 jalapeno peppers
3. Fold the tortilla in two
4. Rub oil over both halves of the tortilla
5. Repeat with the second one (or however many you are making)
6. Place both on BBQ griddle plate to brown on both sides
7. Take off the heat and cut each one into 3 triangles
8. Serve with spoon of sour cream

Karen’s tip – these can be made a few hours in advance – just pile them up and cover in cling film and put in the fridge.  Take out an hour before using to bring up to room temperature.

Vary the filling with – left over chicken, tuna, sweetcorn, tomatoes, chorizo, to name but a few alternatives.
