Zucchini Tortillas

My household is on the LOW CARB train, but I will not deprive myself of tacos!  This simple recipe saved the day!  The seasoning can be altered to personal preference, so be creative!   As you get to know me, you will notice that I like easy and quick meals, especially during the work week.  Shout out to Trader Joe's to help me create a delicious dinner in 30 minutes.

I like to stuff these tortillas with Trader Joe's prepared Carnitas, Pepper Jack Cheese, Salsa Verde and plenty of onions, cilantro and lime.  I recently discovered that Fire Roasted Peppers add another level of flavor that made my tummy smile!

3 medium zucchini grated (4-5 cups)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup bread crumbs
2 beaten eggs
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. ground coriander
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper






Preheat oven to 450°

Line 2  cookie sheets with parchment paper.

It's very important to squeeze the excess water out of the grated zucchini.  I use a cheese cloth to do this.  If you don't have a cheese cloth, use a clean kitchen towel.

Mix all the ingredients together and use a 1/4 cup to scoop the mixture into 6 tortillas per sheet.  Pressed the mixture to a flat circle until they measure 5" wide.  Make sure there are no holes!

Bake 20- 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Allow to cool, then peel from parchment.  Refrigerate leftovers in air tight container.

Welcome to Amy In The 828

First, let me say Thank You for visiting!  For many years I have been encouraged to create a space for the many recipes of food photos I've  posted on social media. 

Kentucky born and raised, I grew up eating country cooking and the occasional dining out at Frisch's Big Boy.  I still stop at Frisch's in London, KY for a Swiss Miss every time I head back to Asheville!  

Over my 45 years, I have lived in Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Hawai'i and North Carolina. I have discovered a diversity of cuisines and have fallen in love with flavors I never knew existed.  Hawai'i especially opened my world to the deliciousness of Asian cuisine and now I am obsessed! Stay tuned and I'll introduce  you to local Hawaiian treats like Manapua, Lomi Lomi Salmon, Malsadas and Spam Musubi (don't judge)!

For me, there is nothing more satisfying than creating a delicious meal and sharing my passion for food with others.  I love to cook.  I love to eat.  I love to feed the bellies of those I love and even those I don't!

I will be sharing recipes, food experiences, and random musings from time to time.  I hope to provide recipes that produce delicious outcomes, satisfied tummies and bring a smile to your face. 

I think it will be a fun adventure!  I hope you enjoy!
