Tortilla Roll-up with Rose Canadian Style Bacon and Beans

Leave a comment

This is one wrap that won’t bore you. Tangy Canadian style back enhances the flavor base.

INGREDIENTS :

Corn tortillas
Fried beans (broth included)
Rose Canadian Style Bacon sliced in 1/8 inch strips
Fresh shredded cheese. I prefer Cheddar with this recipe.
Tomato sauce (tomato, onion, salt and some oregano, all blended)

DIRECTIONS:

Heat beans in a casserole dish. Soak the tortillas in the beans for about 30 seconds. Remove with tongs and place on a flat plate. Top with a thin layer of Rose Canadian Style Bacon and roll up.

Repeat for as many rolls as you would like to make. Add more beans on top of the rolls and cover with a layer of shredded cheese and another layer of tomato sauce. Serve as is.

Spanish Omelette with Rose Canadian Style Bacon

Leave a comment

I have always been a great fan of Rose brand Canadian Style Bacon due to it’s perfect thickness of slice. Also, because it has a wonderful balance of smoke and sweetness.

INGREDIENTS:

2 eggs
3 Tablespoons of Rose Canadian Style Bacon squares 1/8″ thick
1 Tablespoon of chopped onion
1 Tablespoon of chopped tomato
1 Tablespoon of chopped green pepper
1 pinch of salt

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oil in skillet at low flame. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Pour the blend in the skillet making a thin layer. After a couple of minutes, when the omelette starts browning on the bottom, visually divide it in three vertical parts and fold up the outer sections.

Flip it over and wait until the other side browns slightly. Server on a flat plate.

Goes well with (optional):Top with home made tomato sauce (tomato, onion, salt and some oregano, all blended and cooked with oil).
