Veggie Dub

What the heck is a dub, you say? A "dub" is simply a tortilla filled with different varieties of sauteed/grilled fillings and sauce. They were made famous around MSU at a place called Menna's Joint. And I must say, they are fabulously delicious.

So, I had the idea yesterday to try and make one at home, with ingredients that we had from the farmer's market. Since we didn't have any meat in the house, that limited our options. I decided to try the "Hot Veggie Dub" which, as listed on their website, includes potato, mozzarella, green pepper, banana pepper, onion, mushroom, and ranch.

Now, these are simply fantastic. This is also another meal that you can tailor to whatever you happen to have in your pantry at the time. Try taking a basic recipe dub found on their website & then just add or subtract ingredients as you see fit.

Our veggie dub consisted of the following:

3 small potatoes, cubed
1/2 green pepper, diced
1/2 medium onion, sliced
3-4 mushrooms, sliced
1 jalepeno, diced & seeded
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 yellow pepper soaked in water, diced (they come in a can...we found out that banana peppers all use artificial coloring, so we tried these instead, they are a good substitute)

shredded/sliced mozzarella & cheddar cheeses
tortillas

sour cream
BBQ sauce
ranch dressing

Sautee the veggies in the above ingredients in oil (I used an oil/butter combo) until done. I started the potatoes first as they take the longest to cook, then the peppers, onion, etc. Once the filling is cooked, transfer to a bowl. Add a small amount of oil to the pan, add one tortilla. Top the tortilla with bits of shredded cheese (we used mozzarella and cheddar) and the filling. Cook until the cheese is melted. Remove from heat. Repeat until all of the veggie filling is used up (this depends on the size of the tortilla...we used small tortillas & with the amount of veggies we used, this made 4 very stuffed dubs). Top the tortillas with your choice of dressing (we used a sour cream/BBQ sauce combo on 3 and tried a ranch dressing on the 4th). Fold and serve.

Our tortillas turned out a little fried/crunchy, so they didn't fold as nicely. But still tasted great!! I definitely recommend the sour cream/BBQ sauce combo for the dressing. Amazing.

Again, simply changing ingredients, sauces, and cheeses around makes this an easy, yummy dinner that you won't get tired of. :)
