This is a copy cat of sorts from the Gourmet Guys father from his time working in Tunisia. It is his version of Briques that are served in Tunisia. It is a family favorite that we only make occasionally because they are deep fried!
Briques
12 inch thin flour tortillas
leftover ham, pork roast, turkey or chicken, cut into cubes (We prefer Ham)
eggs
green onions, diced finely (optional)
Take a tortilla, place ham in a circle in the center with the green onion, place egg in the center. With egg white seal the tortilla in half and deep fry until golden brown, drain and cool.( The Gourmet Guy and his father liked them so that the eggs were barely cooked but the rest of us like it done a little more!) Eat it like an upside down Taco.
The Gourmet Guys dad was the original Gourmet Guy! He was the real cook in his family while my Gourmet Guy was growing up. He traveled a great deal and had a knack for tasting something that he liked and being able to replicate it when he got home.
(In Tunisia is made with a sticky lump dough and filled with tuna, or ground meat, and topped with anchovies, capers and cheese.)
