Our ‘mise en plas’ for tonight’s dinner

Last fall we got sucked in to watching “Top Chef”. (We basically binged the first 17 seasons.) For Mother’s Day, the kids gave Clare a cooking session with a recent season winner, who, like many chefs across the country, had to find alternative revenue sources while their restaurants and catering services were closed. This chef puts up a calendar for one-hour cooks and we chose today’s, “Surf + Turf Fajitas.”

When you register, an assistant sends an ingredient list, but no instructions. Then during the two-camera presentation — one is aimed down on the workspace and the other is aimed across the counter at the chef — the chef talks through the recipe. It was bit stressful at times keeping up, but dinner was delicious. Homemade tortillas are so easy, we may never buy tortillas again!

Beautiful surfaces! Did you do the tile work yourself?

Please, what's the trick for homemade tortillas?

It all sounds rather stressful but hopefully fun too!

@marlboromaam No, I haven't had the nerve yet to do any tile work. https://365project.org/rhoing/365/2019-05-22

@houser934 You can find dough recipes online. After the dough rests (we were told to let it rest 30–45 minutes), form balls, flatten 'em, toss 'em in a skillet. The dough has fat or shortening in it, so you don't even need oil or butter in the pan. I burned the first one … and it was still delicious on its own!

@rhoing Right. =)
