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.

Step 1: Ingredients Needed

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

Step 2: Supplies

cutting board

sharp knife

bowl

fork

spoon

large skillet

pancake turner

serving plate

Step 3: Cut the Avocado

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

Step 4: Mash and Mix

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.

Step 5: Cut the Sausages

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

Step 6: Brown the Sausages

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.

Step 7: Slice the Onion

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

Step 8: The Pepper

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.

Step 9: Melt Butter

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

Step 10: Add Onions and Peppers

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.

Step 11: The Tomato

Slice the tomato into 1/4-inch slices.

Step 12: Make a Cut

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

Step 13: Add Cheese and Sausage

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

Step 14: Add Avocado

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

Step 15: The Veggies

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

Step 16: Add Tomato

Top the veggies with a tomato slice.

Step 17: Lay the Spinach

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

Step 18: Start Folding

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

Step 19: Next Fold

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

Step 20: Final Fold

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

Step 21: Add Sandwich to the Skillet

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

Step 22: Brown It!

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.

Step 23: Place on Plate

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

Step 24: Cut and Eat!

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

Repeat the steps to make a second sandwich.
