Looking back, it seems that I always knew how to roll a fatty. When my oldest son was in high school and talking about going to college, I knew it was time for him to learn. Fast forward a few years and he is now a junior in college. We just did a camping trip together in the Ozarks where I witnessed him rolling the perfect fatty. Not only did he roll one for himself, but he also rolled one for the old man. A lump formed in my throat and a tear rolled down my cheek as I realized my baby boy is now a man....
As everyone knows, a "fatty" is an over-stuffed tortilla usually filled with a variety of left overs that were destined for the trash can, but when combined in a tortilla and topped with cheese and hot sauce, it becomes a formidable meal. A true fatty is so over-stuffed that when rolled, the ends may not even touch and both hands are required to wrap around it to to hold it together until finished. When camping, a fatty is the perfect way to use small amounts of left overs that aren't capable of making a meal on their own..
As with the start of ANY good meal, start by heating a pot of cooking oil...
Add a base of fried potato slices to a large tortilla
Add egg, cheese and any left over meat/meat product/meat by-product...preferably SPAM
Top with avocado, sour cream and hot sauce
PERFECTION!
Notice the perfect execution of the two handed grip...that's my boy!
Well done, my son...well done....
