Ham and Cheese Pinwheels

(These are highly requested from my family at holidays and lately as a snack!  I got this recipe from my nephew, Justin's uncle a few years back and has been a family favorite since, especially as a super bowl snack or new year's eve party)

Flour Tortillas- homestyle not the thin ones

Provolone, Havarti or Muenster cheese slices

Sliced Ham

Cream cheese, softened

Ranch dressing  dry mix

salad supreme - find in the spice section

-- To make about 4, you will need 4 flour tortillas about 8 inches each

- 8 slices of sandwich ham, I use honey ham

- 8 slices cheese

- 4 oz. softened cream cheese

--2 tsp. ranch dressing mix (you can play with it to see how strong you want the ranch)

--Mix the ranch and cream cheese together in a bowl

--spread evenly on top of each tortilla

--lay the cheese on top, then the ham, overlapping if you need to, see picture above. Don't get too close to the edge, it makes it harder to keep it together.

-- roll up and slice.  Can use cream cheese as a "glue" if ends start to come apart.

-- cut roll into about 1 inch slices and sprinkle with salad supreme on top- refrigerate and enjoy!

Mexican Pizza

 

( I found this on instagram and we loved it! )

1 lb. ground beef

1 packet taco seasoning

3/4 c. water

1 can (15 oz) refried beans

1 can (10oz) enchilada sauce

1/4 c. diced tomatoes

1 1/2 c. shredded Colby jack cheese

8 flour tortillas 

--Preheat oven to 400 F.

brown hamburger into small pieces, then add :

taco seasoning and water -- bring to boil, simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed.

--In large skillet, pour 1/2 of the oil (from the hamburger) into the pan, heat on med/high add tortillas and cook for 4 to 5 min, flipping frequently until crisp, repeat with the rest of the tortillas and oil (may need to add cooking oil or butter)

Spread 1/4 c. beans evenly over the bottom of each tortilla, top with taco meat - place another tortilla over the meat, spread about 2 Tbsp. of enchilada sauce evenly over 

--Divide tomatoes evenly over the top of the tortillas, 

--Sprinkle the cheese evenly over 

--Place each pizza on baking sheet and bake for 8-10 min. until melted and hot

--slice and serve with shredded lettuce, sliced green onions, guacamole, if desired. 

--this makes 4 pizzas, most people will eat 1/2 depending how big your tortilla shells are.  

Andrew's Brownies

 

(These brownies are our "go-to". My mother-in-law, Pat made these a lot too.  Sometimes she frosted them.  She got this recipe from Andrew, her son.  They are pretty quick to whip up and make a nice dessert)

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Melt 1 c. butter

2/3 c. unsweetened cocoa

---cool

In large bowl, beat :

3 eggs

2c. sugar

---when it is white, add:

1 1/2 c. flour

and the cocoa mixture...

I like to stir in 3/4 to 1 c. semi sweet chocolate chips

--Grease bottom of 9x13 pan and add brownie mixture, can sprinkle mini m and m's on top, then bake for 20 to 30 min. until brownies are set.
