Chipotle peppers can be timed.
Synchronized is a type of prepared Mexican food that resembles a sandwich. In this type of dish, the ham and cheese are pressed between two tortillas, which are then grilled. Synchro looks and often tastes like a similar dish, the quesadilla, which is becoming popular around the world. There are several more evocative dishes, packed between tortillas, using other combinations of ingredients and going by different names.
Guacamole can be added to the timing.
In the case of synchronized, the dish gets its name because the ham and cheese are synchronized in their placement between the tortillas. The tortillas used in this dish are usually made of corn flour. The traditional cheese used is Oaxaca cheese, a reference to the Mexican origin of the dish.
Certain recipes may include other cheeses. One cheese used in sophisticated versions of the dish is Manchego, a hard sheep’s cheese named for the La Mancha region of Spain. Using manchego or other cheeses tends to make the recipe more cosmopolitan.
Strong sauces and peppers are often served in sync.
Some cooks will add sour cream or other items to a sync. Guacamole, the avocado paste, is common. Parsley and chili can also be used: some cooks add jalapeños or chipotle peppers to liven up this meal. Many of the common additions are those that are also used in other authentic Mexican dishes, such as burritos, enchiladas, or tacos, where the tortilla can play a similar role in slightly different positions or presentations.
In addition to bell peppers and other garnishes, some cooks use lemon wedges as a garnish. The whole sync is often cut to serve, in halves or quarters, or in smaller slices for tapas style or small plates. These pieces should be served hot with the cheese slightly melted.
Synchronized is a prominent part of fine Mexican cuisine that is making great strides not only in North America but also in the rest of the world. Food manufacturers that work with restaurant chains are realizing that this particular type of food can be easy to prepare with shipped ingredients. Although better known as a quesadilla, this type of traditional Mexican offering is now enjoyed in restaurants around the world.
