No.. I did not eat half a kilo og deer when I made the chili.
The other half was for today.
On my way home I decided to change the rather simple and bland dish.
It seamed kind of.. Unfulfilling.
Also, i DID have one last tortilla, and some tomatoes I had to use up.
Plus the tomatillo topping, and an excess of kvark and that good mature cheddar.
So what better solution, than a burrito!
Unfortunately it didn't turn out that well.. You see, a burrito has to be folded...
Details:
A wheat tortilla with 2 slices of cheddar was put in the panini iron on low to melt the cheese.
An excessive amount of the chili is smothered on top, and topped with a grilled sweet pepper, and a salsa made of; chopped tomatoes, a chopped green chili, chopped spring onion, tomatillo topping, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. To counter all the spice and add some freshness, the whole thing was topped with iceberg and a bit of kvark.
Result:
DAMN I'm stuffed! It was kind of over the top, and as you can see, it never did become a burrito. Which was kind of a shame, as all the flavors work so well together. Even had to throw out some of the chili :(
Fun fact: Now we are at minced meat again: Norwegian brown cheese is actually not a cheese, as it is based on whey. On the other hand, kvark is actually a cheese! As cheese is defined as a product made of milk solids, and is even made with rennet. On the other hand, creme fraiche is not a cheese,as it has not been strained for whey, so it is a soured milk product, like yoghurt. So there you have it ;)

Mexican style
Friday night is easy night...
I was going to make a panini, but with the rather mexican style ingredients, I decided to go with a quesadilla instead. Good choice! Also, got my hands on chipotle in adobo, and tomatillo topping. Would have preferred more pure versions of both, but hey...
Details:
The tortilla was a store-bought wheat tortilla. Cheap simple solution. Rubbed with butter on both sides.
Inside there is mature cheddar, tomatillo topping, slices of turkey, chipotle in adobo, sliced tomato, and red onion. Grilled on high in the panini iron.
Result:
Nice and crispy! no crumbs, really good taste. And the cheddar! I have used emmentaler for so many grilled sandwiches, but from now it's cheddar FOR SURE! The smoked turkey and the smoked chipotle was great together. Not really any taste from the tomatillo though :( Also, some salad for filling would have been nice...
Small note about chipotle: IT BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :S
