These ham and cheese stuffed tortillas are a dish that reminds me of summer afternoons at my grandmother's house. She always had a way of transforming simple ingredients into something special, and these tortillas were one of her best-kept tricks. Although she made them in a pan, the versatility of the Thermomix® allows us to speed up the preparation of the pico de gallo, the perfect accompaniment to this dish. The cooked ham provides a salty touch and a mild flavor that contrasts wonderfully with the creaminess of the cheese. I prefer to use a good quality ham, with an intense but not too salty flavor. As for the cheese, the combination of mozzarella and melting cheese is ideal. The mozzarella provides elasticity and a mild milky flavor, while the melting cheese, such as mild cheddar or gouda cheese, gives it a more intense touch and helps the tortilla stay together. Corn tortillas are my personal choice, as their slightly earthy flavor complements the filling very well, but wheat tortillas also work wonderfully, especially if you prefer a softer texture. For the pico de gallo, the Thermomix® is a perfect ally. By chopping the onion in the Thermomix®, we avoid tears and obtain a fine and uniform texture. It is important not to exceed the chopping time to prevent the onion from becoming puree. The tomatoes should be ripe but firm, so that they do not fall apart when mixed with the rest of the ingredients. The green pepper provides a crunchy touch and a slightly bitter flavor that balances the sweetness of the tomatoes. The cucumber, without seeds, adds freshness and a refreshing touch. Lemon or lime juice is essential to enhance the flavors and prevent the avocado (if you decide to add it) from oxidizing. If you want to give this dish a vegetarian twist, you can substitute the ham for mushrooms sautéed with garlic and herbs from Provence, or for roasted peppers in strips. For a vegan option, use vegan melting cheese and fill the tortillas with refried beans, avocado and pico de gallo. You can add a spicy touch with a few drops of Tabasco sauce or some chopped jalapeño peppers to the pico de gallo. Serve the stuffed tortillas freshly made, cut into quarters, along with the pico de gallo. You can also accompany them with guacamole, sour cream or a yogurt and coriander sauce. A cold beer or a margarita is the perfect accompaniment to this informal and delicious dish. If you have leftover stuffed tortillas, you can store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for a maximum of two days. To reheat them, you can use a frying pan over medium heat or the oven preheated to 180°C for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy. You can also prepare the pico de gallo in advance and store it in the refrigerator until serving.
