Onion Cheese Wrap

Ingredients:

1 Onion

Mozzarella cheese (as much as you like!)

Wraps (I used Tomato wraps)

Chopped lettuce, shredded carrot, sliced boiled egg and tomato(optional)

Put water in a cooking pot and turn heat to high. While you wait for the water to boil, cut up the onion in slices and place it in a bowl. 

When water is boiling put sliced onion in the cooking pot. Let it cook in water for 5-10 seconds, so the onion's acid softens. Carefully pour all the onion slices in a strainer to get rid of the liquid. Place onion in a bowl, to serve. 

Open up your wraps!

Place Mozzarella cheese and sliced onions on top of your wrap

Toast in the oven on high heat until cheese has melted

You may roll it up and eat it just like that, but I decided to add some carrot, lettuce, boiled egg and sliced tomato

Enjoy!!

Good Morning Mate

First things first,

You must obtain a Pava(Teapot), Mate Gourd and a Bombilla (Mate straw)

Ingredients:

Yerba Mate

Sugar

Coffee (I use Folgers)

Water

To start, pour water in the Teapot and heat stove on Medium-High.

While water is heating up, grab the Yerba and a spoon, fill in Gourd halfway or enough to cover the ring of your straw.

Add some sugar

Shake it so the Sugar brushes the Yerba down, this will make the Yerba's powder/dust gets brushed down so the flavor wont be too strong.

Then add about a Teaspoon of Coffee. I don't put in so much because if i do then the coffee will overpower the Mate flavor.

Add some more sugar to serve your first Mate.

Fill in the Mate with warm water, not hot. ( We don't want to burn the Yerba)

Let it stand for a minute, while the water keeps heating in the Teapot, so the Yerba can soak well.

When the water is hot enough (not boiling), remove it from the stove and pour a little in the Mate.

Take the first sip and empty the Mate. This might sound gross, but you may spit water in the sink, since the first serve wont be so enjoyable. 

Add sugar to taste.

Pour in hot water.

And drink up!

Every time you finish, pour in some more and share with friends and family. You may heat up the water more if you'd like or add cold water if its too hot!

I hope you enjoy it!
