Instructions
For service: good store-bought salsa of your choice
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the tortilla wrap on the counter in front of you and cover with the ham.
Over 1/2 only, sprinkle the chopped pickled jalapeno, the grated cheese and the chopped scallion. Scatter over the cilantro leaves.
Carefully fold the tortilla wrap in half, that's to say, fold the untopped half over the cheese so you have a fat half moon.
Lift this is up carefully and brush each side with the oil before putting it on the hot griddle; grill for a minute each side.
Using a steady hand and a wide fine spatula or fish slice, transfer the tortilla to a board or plate and cut into 3 triangles. Eat with some salsa on the side. And please feel free to play with the fillings as you wish.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose
Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. You could try Archery Summit Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 40 dollars per bottle.
Archery Summit Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Fiercely aromatic, this wine boldly blends a pair of unique Willamette Valley subappellations under a single cork. Its presence is immediately felt in the form of a perfume-driven and penetrating aroma of fennel, mulberry, and dried anise. On the palate, the Pinot Noir is firm and vivid, with an abundance of bramble and wild huckleberry notes.Fusing the elegance of the Dundee Hills, the raw muscle of the Eola-Amity Hills, and the dark-fruited nature of Shea Vineyard, this wine epitomizes the spirit of the valley. With slightly firm tannins and an underlying brightness, it is a full, balanced, and deservedly outspoken Pinot Noir. The remarkable 2018 vintage celebrates balance, texture, and intense color, and this wine neatly expresses all of the above.
