Happy New Year! Welcome to our new section: Cooking with Bon Gros Homme (“The Good Fat Man”).
He is a sauté-er, bbq-er, and wrestling fan who embodies what it means to be a modern Jewish dad. He loves his kids, loves to eat unhealthy food, and pulls his weight in his mishpacha (family).
Enjoy this recipe for his Tortilla Pie. It’s not kosher. But it is delicious. Make it, eat it, love it.
