I’ve been having a little trouble lately…That is with my diet. You see Wal-Mart has these frozen Italian meatballs in a bag, you get like 3500 of them for about $10.00. Ok, maybe it’s more like 168 but it’s still a friggin’ lot of meatballs. You can make spaghetti and meatballs, meatballs with cream of mushroom, meatball soup, meatball sandwiches, or eat them plain like I do. I also have a weakness for tortillas. I’ll put anything on, or in a tortilla. My kid likes tur
key and cheese rolled up in a tortilla and micro waved just enough to melt the cheese, sometimes she uses ham or even smoked sausage, she calls it a “Meat Doobie.” I was watching her make one of these the other day and it gave me an idea. I took an eight inch round flour tortilla, a pretty good amoun
t of shredded cheddar cheese, and six small Italian meatballs. Laid it all out, rolled it up, nuked it for about a minute and behold… “The Meatball Doobie” was born. I have many other variations of it in my head but have yet to try them out. Heck, I might even deep-fry one!

OH yummmeeeee!
Is the "meat doobie" on your diet? I'll admit anything tastes better wrapped in a tortilla, but it ain't exactly healthy eating. I decided I had to give up either white steamed rice or tortillas and I can't imagine not having white steamed rice so tortillas are out for right now. I did have a tortilla meltdown so I bought corn tortillas (a little better for you than Sonora style flour tortillas). The only thing I've never tried in a tortilla is tuna salad, they tell me it's good, but fish in a tortilla ain't sounding to tasty.
azcg - i should have known that you'd put me in check, but one day a week i can have anything i want as long as i don't get crazy (all though that has turned into about three days a week) but i'm struggling to get back on track. i use to mix tuna with picante sauce and a little chili powder and salt, heat it up and eat it on a tortilla, but plain old fish sounds a little weird, kind of like yuppies eating fish tacos.
hey hannalie - glad you stopped by. how's things all the way around the world ?
i'm so glad we don't have that to eat here [not].
oh my, that sounds like heaven on a plate! getting hungry already and it is not even anywhere near lunch time yet!!!
truth be said though, i had tortillas just yesterday. with beans though. and salad and cheddar cheese from Portland! very good for the taste buds but very bad for the love handles.
i have everything in my kitchen right now to prepare mexican food, and it's taunting me... damn those fajitas ! how come the three best things in life, (sex, food, and smoking) can all kill you ?
nah, that is just another urban legend!!!! :D
Unlike SPAm, that sounds great!! Meatball dubies for dinner it is!
I'd thought of doing a cookbook, "Real Food for Real People." This actually sounds yummy and would be something I'd put itn there. It's something the kids would eat and love too.
xmichra - and if you were wondering, Yes, I've had Spam on a tortilla also.
babs - i'm a pretty good cook, i can prepare meals that take hours and i can fix meals that take minutes, and some of the fast stuff is just as good as the other. maybe we should start a recipe blog and let all of the bloggers post their culinary classics on it. take care.
Chuck, I'd thought of that and just may do it, unless you were gonna? We could both do it, right?
I did it. Did you get the email for the blog? If not here's the addy;

Hey sweety, you just have to post the Meatball Doobie!
will do babs!
Oh no!!! I have been so good, but now you go and talk about Mexican food and I can't resist!! Good thing there isn't a Wal-Mart here. Hey Chuck, if you get back to your once-a-week treatathon, I'll send you another cleavage pic!!! Did it work?? Didn't think so, but hey, there's no harm in trying....kisses!!!!
