Mexican Pizza


Mexican Pizza is one of those easy to do appetizers or even a super fast dinner. I always have these ingredients available so its good for those nights when you don't want to fuss about dinner.

Ingredients:
Flour Tortillas

1 lb of ground beef
2 tsp of cumin
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of salt
Pepper to taste
If you don't have these seasonings you could use a package of taco seasoning.

1 1/2 cups of grated jack cheese
1 med onion
2 small jalapenos
2 Fresh Roma Tomatoes Diced
Black sliced olives are optional( I don't like them so i don't use them)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Brown ground beef and seasonings.

While your ground beef is browning, Dice tomatoes, jalapenos, and onion.

Layer Tortilla, Ground Beef, and sprinkle with tomato, jalapeno, onion, and cheese. You can add as much or as little as you like. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

Serve immediately. You can serve with sour cream and salsa. Check out my Guacamole de Tomatillo salsa recipe it compliments this well.

Enjoy

Roasted Turkey Sandwich with Horseradish Mustard Mayo


Turkey is one of my favorite leftovers. We make a couple Turkeys at Thanksgiving just to make sure we have enough to freeze for another day. This is an easy dinner or lunch and all you need is a few ingredients.

1 pound of left over turkey(dark meat preferably)
1 sliced loaf of crusty bread (ciabatta works well)
3 tbsp of mayo
1 tsp of horseradish(or more if you like spice)
1 tsp of mustard
1 - 2 Ripe avocados
1/2 cup of shredded jack cheese

Heat your roasted turkey until it get golden brown not too long or it'll get dry. Lightly brush olive oil on one side of your bread Toast your bread on a grill pan on oil side only. Toast until you see light grill marks.

Remove bread from grill pan. Mix mayo, horseradish, and mustard. Add mixture to crispy side of bread. The crispy side will be on the inside of the sandwich to prevent you from cutting the roof of your mouth. Add cheese and turkey on cheese to melt. Add avocado and final layer of bread with crispy side on the inside again. Feel free to add more mayo sauce.

You can add chips or left over pasta salad to your sandwich. This makes a supper tasty quick meal.

Another variation of this sandwich is a steak sandwich. I will use left over rib eye steak and slice it thin with some sauteed onions. I omit the avocado when I make the steak sandwich.
