Ingredients
Directions
- Cook 2 cups of broccoli in the microwave for about 4 or 5 minutes if frozen and 2 minutes if fresh. ***You can easily cook frozen broccoli that you buy in bulk from the freezer section directly in a tortilla warmer by placing the frozen broccoli in the tortilla warmer and sprinkling a little salt on top of the frozen broccoli - no need to add any extra water - and then firmly place on the lid and cook in the microwave for 4 or 5 minutes. It is cheaper than using the microwave bags of veggies.
