Nachos! They’re an easy assemblage and an awesome snack. I’ve teamed up with tortillas with spirit brand Manomasa to create some recipes to help you best enjoy your next crunch time. A crunch Mexican style take on the classic ham and Swiss sandwich, my latest recipe – honey roasted ham and Emmental sincronizadas – is an especially quick and hassle free treat. Enjoy.
HONEY ROASTED HAM AND EMMENTAL SINCRONIZADAS
Ingredients (served as a canapé, there should be enough for 6-8 people)
- 100g of honey roasted ham (I prefer it sliced fairly thick);
- 100g of sliced Emmental;
- About half a bag of Manomasa Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper tortilla chips.
Method
- Preheat your oven to 175ºC;
- Place as many single chips in a baking tray;
- Place a slice of cheese, a piece of ham and another slice of cheese on top of each chip and then cover it with another chip;
- You’ll know the chips are ready if the cheese has melted enough that each “sandwich” stays intact when you pick it up.
Serve
Sincronizadas are best served hot when the cheese is still melty, but they’re perfectly acceptable to eat after they’ve cooled down. They make an excellent snack anytime of day and really come in handy at casual get togethers.
Tortillas with Spirit
Manomasa was born on the back streets of Mexico and pays tribute to the original tortilla chip – the totopo – whilst branching out into new tastes, sensations and textures inspired by the diversity and creativity of street food culture. Each variety of Manomasa tortillas has a distinctive shape, allowing you to snack, scoop or dip with them. Along with a variety of exciting textures (owing to the super-seeds used, such as sunflower, linseed and caraway for extra depth and bite), delicious flavour combinations have been used, leaving you with a unique snacking experience.
