With my family's Armenian background, I grew up surrounded by great cooks. Since Armenian food is time-consuming and labor-intensive, cooking for any party started weeks in advanced. I learned to cook from my mom but have revamped many of her dishes to make them healthier, simpler and quicker, like this version of Armenian Pizza. Ingredients:
3/4 cup drained petite diced tomatoes |
1/2 cup finely chopped onion |
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley |
1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper |
2 tablespoons tomato paste |
1 teaspoon dried mint |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
3/4 pound ground beef (95% lean) |
12 flour tortillas (8 inches) |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first 11 ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well.
2. Place tortillas on greased baking sheets. Spread 1/4 cup of meat mixture onto each tortilla to within 1/2 in. of edges (tortillas will not be completely covered). Bake at 425° for 9-12 minutes or until meat is no longer pink and edges of tortillas begin to brown. Yield: 6 servings.
