Garlic Onion Tortilla Cake Recipe courtesy Guy Fieri


Show: Guys Big Bite


Episode: Sangria Shrimp























2/3 cup canola oil


4 cups small chopped red onion


3 tablespoons butter


2 tablespoons sugar


3/4 cup roasted garlic, from jar


5 tablespoons grated Parmesan


1/4 cup mayonnaise


3 tablespoons minced cilantro leaves


Salt and pepper


12 flour tortillas


2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar








In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring to caramelize but not over brown. Add butter and sugar and cook until onions have nicely caramelized, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.


Once cooled mix together the remaining ingredients except for the tortillas and vinegar; refrigerate for at least 4 hours.





After mixture has had time to meld, set aside 1/3 of the mixture for the dipping sauce and evenly spread the remaining mixture on the top of 11 tortillas. Stack the tortillas on top of one another, with the last tortilla on top having no mixture spread on it. Wrap tortilla stack in plastic wrap and let set up for 12 to 24 hours in refrigerator.





Heat a grill heat. Cut the stack into 16 wedges. Grill each wedge on each side until warmed and grill marks appear. Mix reserved mixture with balsamic vinegar for dipping sauce. Serve tortilla wedges with dipping sauce.





I made this and it was fantastic. Very impressive. Hope you try it. It's not as complicated as it looks.
No but I gather that for a party of 9, six bottles of Red wine and 9 bottles of white go well to wash it all down
