Gluten Free Tex Mex Quiches Recipe

One of my favorite ways to entertain is to host a brunch; it is so much more relaxed than dinner. Not only is brunch easier on the host or hostess but I think that the guests appreciate the mellower atmosphere as well.

Another way I like to make things easier on myself when entertaining is to serve food buffet style. I set the dining table up with pretty linens, silverware, and flowers but let the guests serve themselves from another table laden with food. So much more relaxed that seating plans and passing food around the table.

Quiche is a natural for brunch but serving whole quiches can make for a messy presentation. They look great until someone cuts a piece and then it is all downhill from there. Maybe it is just me but that sort of thing bothers me. My solution is to make individual quiches – no cutting, no mess, less anxiety for me.

I love these Gluten Free Tex Mex Quiches, they are flavorful and fun. Plus, no need to master making pie crust for these babies, a corn tortilla creates the crust for you. Serve optional garnishes on the side and let your guests customize them as they see fit, I like to serve mine with salsa, sour cream, avocado (or guacamole), cilantro leaves, and maybe even some pickled jalapeno for those who like some heat.

• ▢ 1 large organic tomato chopped
• ▢ 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• ▢ 1 teaspoon chili powder
• ▢ ¾ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
• ▢ ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

• ▢
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12 cup standard muffin pan generously with oil or gluten free non-stick cooking spray.

  Heat a dry skillet over high heat. Take the corn tortillas one at a time and cook in the skillet for 20 seconds, flip it over and cook for another 15 seconds then place on a plate.
