This post made me chuckle, especially since we’ve talked about cilantro before. I have to admit that I used to think that my cilantro-hating friends were just exaggerating. I mean, to me, it’s just cilantro. It’s not fabulous but it’s not repulsive. It’s kind of just there, like the tomatoes. But, since then, I read several articles about how receptors in our tongues and in our noses react to chemicals differently. I loved how you described the taste being like holding a nickel in your mouth. That sounds so unpleasant!

  I am just glad I am not alone. Sounds like I am in good company. I think I heard that both Julia, and Ina, were/are not fans. It is really strange since I don’t mind coriander. I find that a little confusing.
  
  I want to try your homemade tortillas. I used your little trick with the clear dish on some flatbread that I plan to post soon. I will link to you when I do because I like to credit not just the recipe, but the tips I’ve learned to the people that shared the tip.

I love cilantro but it’s definitely one of those “love it/loathe it” herbs! I also love that you dressed the lettuce with a little vinaigrette – definitely going to be trying that trick the next time I make quesadillas!!

  Nancy, I am so pleased that it appeals to you – I consider this high praise. It makes such a quick lunch I hope you will try it. I used whole wheat tortilla from Sprouts. They are made with canola oil, but I want to try homemade.

Looks like a wonderful lunch, wish we could sit down and enjoy it together. We’d probably end up chatting all afternoon about all of our food ideas! 🙂 That would be a fun afternoon!
