The following are recipes that you can use either for an appetizer or a quick dinner for family or friends.
Tortilla Stack A simple and delicious crowd pleaser. I switched the Mozzarella cheese with Cheddar and Monterey Jack, which adds more flavour. Add a green salad and you have dinner. 1 lb lean ground beef 1 onion chopped 4 cloves garlic, chopped 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp chili powder Sea salt and freshly ground pepper 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and shredded 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped 6 large whole wheat tortillas 2 tomatoes, diced 3 cups Mozzarella, shredded
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- In a large skillet, brown ground beef with onion, garlic, spices, salt and pepper
- Add sweet potatoes and cook 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and add cilantro.
- Place 1 tortilla on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Top with about 3/4 cup of meat mixture, 1/5 of tomatoes and 1/2 cup Mozzarella. Cover with another tortilla and repeat with the rest of tortillas; top with cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, broil for last 2 minutes if desired. Cut into wedges and serve with salsa and sour cream.
- In a bowl, mix Boursin with bacon and nuts
- Mix herbs on a plate.
- Shape mixture into a large ball and coat with the herbs
- Chill at least 30 minutes. Serve with pretzel sticks, raincoast crisps or breadsticks.
