}}

In [[Mexican Cuisine|Mexican cuisine]], the sincronizada is a [[Tortilla|tortilla]]-based [[Sandwich|sandwich]]. They are frequently confused with [[Quesadillas|quesadillas]], due to their resemblance to "quesadillas" sold in the United States. (U.S. quesadillas are usually made with [[Flour tortillas|flour tortillas]] rather than molded from [[Masa|masa]] in the [[Mexican]] style).

Sincronizadas (so called because the top and bottom [[Tortilla|tortilla]] are "synchronized" together) [[Sandwich|sandwich]] ingredients between two [[Tortillas|tortillas]]. The sandwich is then [[Grilled|grilled]].

{{RecipeIngredients
| 4 soft [[Flour tortillas|flour tortillas]]
| 1 cup [[Grated|grated]] [[Cheese|cheese]].
| 70g strong [[Cheddar]]. ''Original recipes suggest [[Oaxaca cheese]] or [[Monterey Jack cheese]]''.
| 4 slices of thinly sliced [[Ham|ham]] or [[Prosciutto|prosciutto]], cut into strips
| 2 red [[Hot chillies|hot chillies]], de-seeded and thinly sliced (or to taste)
|* You can use [[Chilli|chilli]] [[Sauce|sauce]] instead if you prefer
| A few thinly cut slices of fresh [[Tomato|tomato]]
| A few rings of thinly sliced [[Onions|onions]]
| A handful of [[Coriander|coriander]] or [[Parsley leaves|parsley leaves]], chopped finely
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Lay two of the [[Tortillas|tortillas]] side-by-side on a flat surface and sprinkle with half of the [[Cheese|cheese]]
| Layer the half of [[Ham|ham]] on to the [[Cheese|cheese]]
| Distribute the remaining ingredients apart from the [[Cheese|cheese]] and [[Ham|ham]]
| Top with the remaining [[Ham|ham]] and [[Cheese|cheese]]
| Complete the 'sandwiches' by covering with the [[Tortillas|tortillas]]
| On a [[Griddle|griddle]] or a large [[Frying pan|frying pan]], cook the sincronizadas, one at-a-time until the [[Tortillas|tortillas]] are lightly [[Browned|browned]] and starting to become crispy, turning once
| Cut each sincronizada into 6 quadrants
}}
===Serving suggestions===
Serve hot with [[Guacamole|guacamole]] and a [[Green salad|green salad]]
===Variations===
Change the [[Cheddar cheese]] for a Mexican type of cheese that is called [[Oaxaca cheese|"quesillo/queso oaxaca"]] which can be easily torn into thinner strands and melts faster.

I usually put some mayonnaise on the tortillas then the ham,cheese, a bit of fried beans, and cover it with the other tortilla with mayonnaise and another slice of ham. -- [[User:Pepekike]] 04:28, 21 July 2011
