Preparing dinner can sometimes be like putting a puzzle together. Yes, it takes time… and patience. But not when you can quickly prepare a healthy family meal like these Flatbread Ham and Cheese Brazilian Enchiladas. It’s literally life made easy and totally delish!
How? All that is needed is to grab a bunch of ready-made ingredients such low-fat flatbread, deli smoked ham, cheeses, tomato sauce, and a vegetable salsa, and transform them into a complete dish that will have your family singing its praises… and asking you to make it again and again.
A dish that requires no special skills. That’s right! Layering ham and cheeses on a flatbread, rolling it up, pouring tomato sauce on top, baking, and then serving with a vegetable salsa on top… nothing could be easier. Using the flatbread instead is certainly much quicker than having to prepare an enchilada batter. Huh? Our enchiladas are inspired by a popular Brazilian main dish, panquecas (similar to a thick rolled crepe, filled with a variety of fillings, and topped with tomato sauce).
But making magic is easy with Flatout flatbread — which is a blank canvas, the perfect partner for helping people of all ages to make healthier choices and tasty dishes like our Flatbread Ham and Cheese Brazilian Enchiladas. In fact, every Flatout flatbread variety is low in fat and a good source of fiber, making them perfect for wraps, pinwheels, super easy pizzas… and enchiladas too.
All the ingredients in our dish are available in local supermarkets. But you can use this store locator to check the availability of Flatout flatbreads in your area.
It has truly become one of my new fave ingredients on account of its versatility — I can prepare my panquecas in a blink of an eye. With the same flatbread, I can make individual pizzas for another dinner, wraps for my children’s school lunch, pinwheels to serve as small bites while we watch our favorite sport games, and even use it in a dessert…as a substitute for a jelly roll. Options, both sweet and savory, are as unlimited as our imaginations!
Well, for now enjoy our flatbread ham and cheese Brazilian enchiladas… but please, don’t forget to share with me your own creation using this versatile flatbread. I am always looking for inspiration!

Are you a fan of ham and cheese sandwiches? Me too! But what if I told you there is much more that you can do with that combo? This “one-baking dish” Ham and Cheese Baked Rice Casserole is just one of those dishes — and even better, is dinner made easy… with the added plus of leftovers, if desired. 😉
Grab a bowl. Mix cooked rice with heavy cream, egg yolks, seasonings, ham, cheese, and a few veggies. Place rice mixture into a baking dish… and bake for about 25-30 minutes. Meanwhile, go to Facebook or read your favorite magazine. Voilá! Dinner will be ready in the blink of an eye.
I know… This dish has everything, including the taste of life made easier for busy moms/full-time workers like us.
Our ham and cheese baked rice casserole (or arroz de forno misto) and its many variations are popular dishes in Brazil — not only for busy weeknight meals but also for those lazy weekends. First of all, it doesn’t require any special skill from the cook. Second, it is a complete meal all by itself. Third, it is able to take care of those leftovers while transforming them into a delicious meal.
It may not have “one-pot” or “one-skillet” in its name, but it is definitely part of that same family. It also makes the list of dishes that are naturally gluten-free.
Chicken, bacon, sausage, and shredded jerked beef are just a few of the many variations that Brazilians make use of to transform the basic dish into a new one. In addition, if you choose a different type of rice, such as wild rice, as well as another type of meat, cheese, or vegetable, you can repeat the same recipe yet give it a new name and face. Basically, the only thing you would need to keep constant would be the yolks, heavy cream, salt and pepper.
To make baked rice casseroles even creamier, Brazilians love to add requeijão (Brazilian cream cheese) to the recipe — although it is not required. We do just because, you know, you can never have too much cheese. 🙂
I will leave you now with the formula to one hero of a dish, and to your much-deserved rest.

America is the land of burgers… and so is Brazil!!! Huh? To be more specific: Brazil is the land of the X-Tudo — a hamburger on Steroids!!!! And X-Tudo (pronounced: sheess-TOO-doo) is what I have for you today! How about that?
X-Tudo (translated as ‘cheese-everything’) is a TALL burger with many toppings. In fact, x-tudo is so tall that you can’t get your mouth, no matter how big, around the whole burger. Yes, eating a x-tudo is a fun, deliciously messy experience which one must have at least once in life… It is so good that it makes every single calorie consumed worthwhile. Just like any other burger, x-tudo is about taste — not aesthetics…
In Brazil, X-tudo is available at snack bars and on the streets. There are many variations of x-tudo e.g.: X-Caipira (sausage, egg, tomato, and onion), X-Salada (hamburger patty, cheese, lettuce, and tomato), X-Bacon (hamburger patty, cheese, bacon, lettuce, and tomato), X-Frango (chicken breast, cheese, lettuce, and tomato), etc… But my favorite is still the classic which is pretty much composed of a juicy hamburger patty, melted cheese, fried egg, deli ham, bacon, corn, lettuce, tomato, and shoestring potatoes — all sandwiched between a burger bun. 🙂 It is often eaten with mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard.
Does it sound good to you? Well, the good news is that you don’t need to travel to Brazil to eat x-tudo. FBTY bought it directly to you!
Have a ball eating my classic X-Tudo!

Sharing is Caring: Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email Yummly I still remember… Growing up in Brazil, Pizza à Portuguesa used to be one of my favorite pizzas. I don’t know exactly why it got the name à Portuguesa (Portuguese-style pizza)– I suppose it is because the pizza is topped with hard-boiled eggs and Portuguese chouriço sausage. For […]

I love empanadas, although it has been a while since I have last eaten them. I also love pizza…This is why we’ll be making two dishes in one: Pizza Empanadas!!! Excited?
Because of the American football Super Bowl which is coming up soon, I decided to make the pizza empanadas dough ahead of time for freezing, so that they can simply be filled and baked on the day that they will be served. What a time saver!
If you weren’t already aware, empanadas are not exclusively a dish from Hispanic Latin America, but are also widely esteemed in Brazil, including both fried (pastel frito) and baked (pastel de forno) versions with sweet and savory fillings. Brazilians call these beauties “pastel” (in Mexico, a similar pastry is called an empanada, and through Mexican influence that is also the term by which the pastries have generally come to be known in English).
The baked empanadas (pastéis) are usually served with a cup of coffee (cafezinho), a glass of guaraná soda, or beer, while the fried ones are preferrably served with sugarcane juice, guaraná soda, or beer. They make for a quick afternoon snack or a great appetizer for parties and bar conversation (conversa de botequim).
I confess that I do prefer the baked empanadas (pastel de forno) for obvious reasons – they are less messy and greasy to prepare.
That is why our pizza empanadas are baked. There is a wide variety of possible fillings, but I picked what we call the pizza filling: ham, cheese, tomato, and oregano. It is like having empanadas and pizza in the same dish. 😉 Don’t you?
Well, enjoy our pizza empanadas and have a great time with your friends and family watching the Super Bowl.
