Pinoy Roll

In the past few years, my older siblings and I have been responsible in preparing some of the courses for our Media Noche, it is also an effort to drive our mother out of the kitchen and let her have some good night sleep. Unfortunately, we usually fail on the latter part, since our Inay still manages to slip into the kitchen and put something on the stove.

On New Year's Eve of 2011 (or 2010, darn this memory), my older brother volunteered to cook the pasta and my eldest sister decided to prepare the pasta sauce. I was thinking about making some salad when my second eldest sister decided to make one. My Tatay, meanwhile, decided to grill some barbecue.

Good thing, my sister brought home a copy of Good Housekeeping cookbook (vol. 5). I saw Adobo Roll recipe and decided to try it. I used the left-over adobo and whole wheat tortillas instead of the burrito that the recipe called for. I have been making it ever since. During the Lenten season, I use the adobo-flavored canned tuna. You just have to make sure to carefully drain all the juices so the roll won't be soggy.

Here's the recipe!

Ingredients:
whole wheat tortilla
hoisin sauce/paste
pork adobo (shredded)
i medium sized cucumber (thinly sliced)
1 carrot (thinly sliced)
lettuce leaves (chopped)

Steps
1. Spread hoisin sauce over the tortilla wrapper.
2. Arrange the adobo, lettuce, cucumber and carrots on the lower side of the wrapper.
3. Roll and wrap tightly.
4. Cut into four and arrange. You could add additional hoisin sauce.
