- Flour Tortillas: Medium size or about 5.5” in diameter
- Ham: Deli slices work well, but you can also use carved ham off the bone. Choose whatever thickness you prefer.
- Oaxaca Cheese: I got a fresh block and grated it for extra gooey sincronizadas!
- All the toppings are optional. Feel free to customize it to your liking!
- You do not need to add any oil to the pan if you are using a nonstick griddle but you can if you find your tortillas stick at all. Some people like to add a little olive oil or canola oil to increase the crunch!
- Ham and cheese are what make a sincronizada a sincronizada, but feel free to experiment with other fillings like chicken, ground beef, vegetables, and refried beans. Any extra filling, including vegetables, should be cooked before they are added. The sincronizada is only cooked until the tortilla is browned and the cheese is melted, which is not enough time to cook vegetables or meat.
- This dish is best served fresh when it is hot and melty.
- If you are making more than one serving at a time, place the cooked sincronizadas on a cookie sheet in a warm oven to keep them warm.
