Recipe: Frasadillas

[ellyssian]

- 12 slices maple cured bacon, grilled and crumbled
- 4 soft tortillas
- 100% maple syrup
- 4 handfuls shredded cheese - 60% extra sharp cheddar, 40% Monterey jack
- 20-24 leaves of sassafras, washed and ripped into pieces
- fresh ground cinnamon

Spread the crumbled bacon on the tortillas, drizzle lightly with maple syrup, cover each one with a handful of the cheese mix. Broil under low until cheese just melts - don't brown. Sprinkle sassafras leaves on top of cheese, drizzle lightly with maple syrup, and grind some cinnamon on top. Cut into wedges and serve.

EDIT: Changed the name - like the shorter version a little bit better.

Alternate method: Pre-heat a large fry pan on medium heat. Brush olive oil onto the bottom of the tortilla and set oil-side down on a plate. Spread the crumbled bacon on the tortillas, drizzle lightly with maple syrup, cover each one with a handful of the cheese mix. Cook on medium until the cheese melts. Sprinkle sassafras leaves on top of cheese, drizzle lightly with maple syrup, and grind some cinnamon on top. Fold in half, press lightly, and set it on a plate. Start the next one in line, and then cut the previous one into wedges and serve.

Grind cinnamon? Maple syrup on CHEESE? Sassafras, too?
Boggles my imagination. Just curious.
How did you ever come across such a combo?

Have fun today. We're having Jan, Leo, Carmen and Adriana for a cook-out Mon. afternoon.
