Potato "Dosadillas"

Makes 4 servings

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons minced

scallions or onions

2 cups mashed potatoes

(see Note)

1/2 cup frozen baby peas, thawed

11/2 teaspoons curry powder or paste, or to taste

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1. Heat the oil in a small skillet. Saute the scallions until soft. Add the potatoes, peas and curry and mix well. Cook until hot. For a spicier mixture, add more curry.

2. Spread the mixture evenly over half of each of the tortillas. Fold the tortillas and heat them, two at a time, in a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook, turning once, until lightly browned on both sides. Keep them warm while cooking the remaining dosadillas. Eat them with your hands or with a knife and fork.
