Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat with the egg, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Place a couple of tablespoons of the filling on one side of the tortilla and press the filling into a thin layer. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.
- Press a fork alongside the open edge of the tortilla to seal the filling inside. Repeat the process until all your tortillas are filled and sealed.

- Remove the cooked chebureki from the skillet and let them rest on paper towels to absorb the excess grease. Enjoy immediately!

BAKED APPLE TURNOVERS
OK, so these are not technically apple turnovers, but they really do taste great! A lot easier than dealing with phyllo dough and much healthier. Tortillas paired with the sweet filling work really well when baked. Also, we don't do a lot of sugar in our house--so feel free to increase the sugar to 1/2 cup or more, and omit...

Steps:
- In a medium bowl mix the potatoes, onions, and 1/2 teaspoon salt by hand.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Fry the potatoes and onions on low heat and cover with a lid for 5 minutes to let them soften. Turn up the heat for another 5 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the stove and drain off any excess oil.
- Meanwhile break the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the remaining salt and milk and whisk vigorously until frothy. Add the potatoes and onions to the eggs and mix until fully integrated.
- Clean the frying pan and return to stove.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil on a high heat and pour in the mixture, moving it around in the pan to help the tortilla to rise. Fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally until it has set. Then turn down the heat to allow the inside to cook. After a few minutes turn up the heat in order to brown the tortilla.
- When it's cooked place a large plate over the frying pan and flip the tortilla onto it. Return to the pan and fry the other side until golden brown.

Tips:
- Choose the right tortillas: Use fresh, high-quality tortillas that are pliable and easy to fold. Corn tortillas are a good choice because they are sturdy and less likely to tear.
- Prepare the filling ahead of time: This will save you time and make the assembly process easier. You can make the filling up to a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
- Don't overfill the tortillas: Too much filling will make the turnovers difficult to fold and seal. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per tortilla.
- Use a wet pastry brush to seal the edges of the turnovers: This will help to prevent them from coming apart during cooking.
- Cook the turnovers until they are golden brown and crispy: This will ensure that the filling is cooked through and the tortillas are heated through.
Conclusion:
Turnover tortillas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of fillings. They are perfect for a quick and easy meal or snack, and they can also be served as an appetizer or side dish. With a little planning and preparation, you can make turnover tortillas that are sure to impress your family and friends.
