Antojitos Minis Recipe
Servings: 24 minis (approx.)
Ingredients
4 large flour tortillas (8-10 inch)
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped black olives (optional)
1 tsp taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Salsa, sour cream, or guacamole (for dipping)
Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, taco seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth.
Add Veggies:
Stir in the chopped bell peppers, green onions, and black olives (if using). Make sure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Spread the Mixture:
Lay a tortilla flat and spread a thin, even layer of the filling across the entire surface.
Roll It Up:
Tightly roll the tortilla into a log shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Chill the Rolls:
Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the filling firm up and makes slicing easier.
Slice and Serve:
Remove the plastic wrap and cut each roll into 1-inch slices to create mini pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter.
Serve with Dips:
Pair your Antojitos Minis with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for dipping.
Tips:
For added spice, include chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce in the filling.
Use spinach or whole wheat tortillas for added variety.
Enjoy these colorful, flavorful bites! 🌮
Ahi Poke Recipe
Ahi poke is a delicious, fresh, and flavorful Hawaiian dish made with raw tuna, marinated in a savory sauce. This dish is perfect as an appetizer, a light meal, or a side dish for a tropical-themed dinner.
Ingredients:
1 lb sushi-grade ahi tuna (yellowfin tuna), cubed
1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon honey or sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup green onions, chopped (scallions)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or 1 small chili (optional for heat)
1/4 cup cucumber, thinly sliced (optional)
1/4 cup avocado, diced (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ahi Tuna:
Cut the sushi-grade ahi tuna into small, bite-sized cubes, about 1/2-inch in size. Place the tuna cubes in a large mixing bowl.
Make the Marinade:
In a separate small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey (or sugar), lime juice, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir well until the sugar dissolves and all ingredients are combined.
Marinate the Tuna:
Pour the marinade over the cubed ahi tuna. Gently toss to coat the tuna evenly in the marinade. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Add Optional Ingredients:
After marinating, add the chopped green onions, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes (or chili), and cucumber to the bowl. Gently mix everything together. If you like, you can also add diced avocado for extra creaminess.
Serve:
Serve the ahi poke immediately, garnished with additional sesame seeds or green onions if desired. It can be served on its own, over a bowl of steamed rice (for poke bowls), or with crispy wonton chips as an appetizer.
Tips:
Sushi-grade Tuna: Be sure to use sushi-grade tuna for the freshest and safest experience, as this will be consumed raw.
Customize: Poke is highly customizable. Feel free to add ingredients like seaweed salad, radishes, or even pineapple for a tropical twist.
Marinating Time: If you let the tuna sit in the marinade for too long, it can become "cooked" due to the acid in the marinade, so don't exceed 1 hour of marinating.
Enjoy this refreshing, healthy, and flavorful Ahi Poke, perfect for summer or any time you're craving a light, vibrant dish!
Spiral-Sliced Ham Recipe
This easy, flavorful recipe for spiral-sliced ham is perfect for holidays, family gatherings, or any special occasion. With minimal prep, this tender ham will be a showstopper at your next meal.
Ingredients:
1 spiral-sliced ham (about 8-10 pounds)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
1 tablespoon butter (optional, for a rich glaze)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Prepare a roasting pan by lining it with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Ham:
Remove the spiral-sliced ham from its packaging. If your ham has a glaze packet, you can discard it or use it as an extra flavor base. Place the ham, cut side down, into the prepared roasting pan. Cover it loosely with foil to keep the moisture in.
Make the Glaze:
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is well-combined. If you want a richer glaze, add the tablespoon of butter and stir until it melts into the glaze.
Glaze the Ham:
Brush the glaze generously over the top of the ham, making sure to coat the slices between the spiral cuts. Reserve some glaze to brush on later as the ham cooks.
Bake the Ham:
Place the ham in the oven and bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until heated through and caramelized on top. Baste the ham with the glaze every 20-30 minutes, ensuring it stays moist and flavorful.
Finish and Serve:
Once the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C), remove it from the oven. Let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute. Slice and serve, drizzling with any leftover glaze.
Tips:
For extra flavor: Add some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the roasting pan for a fragrant touch.
Leftovers: Spiral-sliced ham makes great leftovers for sandwiches, soups, or salads!
Enjoy your tender, sweet, and savory spiral-sliced ham that’s sure to impress your guests!
