Torilla Ham and Cheese Sandwiches (Sincronizadas)
Print This Recipe
Sincronizadas are now found all over Mexico, with some much better than others. Ham and cheese layered between 2 tortillas and heated on a comal until the cheese is softly melted. I add a little oil to my comal when cooking the sincronizadas, as they seem to brown better, but it is not necessary.
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon canola or safflower oil, optional
12 thin corn tortillas, 6-inches in diameter
8 thin slices Port-Salut, white cheddar, or other cull-flavored cheese
6 thin slices good quality ham
6 teaspoons Chipotle Chile Salsa or other salsa
GuacamoleHeat a heavy frying pan or comal over medium heat and add the oil, if using. Top 6 of the tortillas with a slice of cheese and a slice of ham, and spread the ham with 1 teaspoon of the salsa. Cover with a second tortilla and place in the hot pan. Toast over medium heat until the cheese begins to melt and the tortilla is freckled with brown. Flip over and toast the other side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Serve each sandwich with a scoop of guacamole on the side.
