Sausage-Stuffed Folded Tortilla Sandwich

I love a hot, hardy sandwich! When I saw the Sandwich Speed Challenge, I started thinking what I could fill a sandwich with. Italian sausage seemed like a great meat to use along with grilled vegetables, melty cheese and some avocado! And how about some tomato slices and fresh spinach, all inside of a grilled tortilla? Boom! I had my idea and it was so tasty!!! The ingredients are enough to make 2 sandwiches. Follow along with this Instructable to see how you can easily make this recipe.

1 haas avocado

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

1 teaspoon lime juice

1 medium green bell pepper

1/2 of a medium onion

2 fresh mild or hot Italian sausage links

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup spinach leaves

1 Roma tomato

2 9-inch flour tortillas

cutting board

sharp knife

bowl

fork

spoon

large skillet

pancake turner

serving plate

Cut the avocado in half. Remove the pit. Scoop out the avocado and place in a bowl.

Using a fork, mash the avocado. My avocado was firm so it is chunky.

Stir in Greek yogurt, cumin, salt, hot sauce and lime juice. Set aside.

Lay the sausages on a cutting board. Cut each in half lengthwise, leaving the casing intact on one side, if desired.

Preheat the skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the sausages. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they are fully cooked and nicely browned. Wipe the grease out the skillet.

Cut off the end of the onion and remove the skin. Cut into 1/2-inch slices.

Cut the top off of the pepper. Remove the seeds and the membranes.

Cut the pepper in half. Slice 1/2 of the pepper into 1/2-inch strips. Save the other half of the pepper for another use.

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the onions and peppers to the butter in the skillet. Fry, turning occasionally, for about 3 minutes until nicely browned. Remove vegetables from the skillet and wipe the skillet out.

Slice the tomato into 1/4-inch slices.

To make one sandwich, lay out one flour tortilla. Make a cut from the center to the bottom.

Mound 1/2 of the cheese on the top right quarter of the tortilla. Place a cooked sausage over the cheese.

Spoon 1/2 of the mashed avocado on the left top quarter of the flour tortilla next to the sausage.

Place 1/2 of the onions and peppers onto the bottom right quarter of the tortilla.

Top the veggies with a tomato slice.

Place 1/2 of the spinach over the entire tortilla.

Gently and carefully start folding your sandwich. Pull the bottom left corner over the top left corner, covering the avocado.

Pull and fold the top left corner over the top right corner.

Lastly, fold the top right corner down over the bottom right corner.

Melt the remaining tablespoon butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the sandwich to the skillet.

Let the sandwich cook on one side for about 2 minutes. Using the pancake turner, carefully flip the sandwich over. Press down gently with the pancake turner several times while the sandwich cooks. Let it cook for about 2 minutes until nicely browned.

Remove sandwich from the skillet and place on a serving plate.

Cut the sandwich in half to make it easier to eat.

Repeat the steps to make a second sandwich.

I hope you enjoyed seeing how I make a folded tortilla sandwich. It's great for breakfast, lunch, dinner or any time! I think it was as much to make as it was to eat!!! So very delish!!!!
