Mini-pizzas of ham and pickles :: Mini-pizzas de jamón y pepinillos

Weekend is coming, yeah ! And I bet many of you will meet up with your friends around a table. Are you staying at home or going out to some bar or restaurant? If you decide staying indoors or you are invited to any of your friends' house, make sure to be nice and bring some food to share with the whole gang (this is something we always do in Spain).

Pinterest is a great source of  appetizers, snacks and finger food, perfect for these kind of occasions where you have to cook for quite a big group of people but you want to make it easy. However, I must confess that I have tried out some of the recipes stored there and... I failed. Pictures looked way much better that the recipes turned out. This time though, I succeeded and that's why I want to share the recipe with you step by step (or picture by picture).


Ingredients (8 units)

• 2 mexican tortillas
• 2 slices of ham
• 1 slice of cheese
• Pickles
• 8 teaspoon of fried tomato sauce
• Oregano

Elaboration
We will use a tomato can to cut the tortillas and make perfect circles. Make sure you use a cylindrical can whose base is the same perimeter as the holes of your muffins baking tray (we will cook them in there!).
For each tortilla I took 4 circles (or mini pizzas base).

Now, we are cutting the ham, the cheese and the pickles that will make our pizza filling.

It is time about to fix our mini-pizzas! Place the bases in the baking tray. Add a teaspoon of tomato sauce on each circle and spread all around. Then, start placing the ham as the main ingredient.

Follow with the pickles and the cheese. As the final step, put some oregano on top and take them into the oven, which has been previously pre-heated at 200oC. Cook them for 10-15 minutes.

Eat as soon as you take them out from the oven, otherwise, the tortillas won't be crunchy.

Easy and delicious recipe, isn't it? Note that you can use other ingredients as chorizo, mushrooms, bacon, etc,. There so many combinations!

By the way, this is a very family recipe that you can also make with your children :-)
