Although marshy green looking, these salmon and avocado hors d'oeuvres are actually elegant and simple to make.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 cup goat cheese, softened
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 1/4 cup minced green onions
- 8 large spinach or plain tortillas
- 6 oz smoked salmon, cut into strips
Preparation
Grease 2 large rimless baking sheets; set aside.
Peel and pit avocado; place in bowl. Add cheese, lemon juice, salt and pepper; mash until smooth. Stir in green onion.
Using 2-1/2-inch (6 cm) round cutter, cut out rounds from tortillas. Thinly spread with cheese mixture. Top half of the rounds with salmon; sandwich with remaining rounds, cheese side down and pressing lightly. Arrange on prepared pans. (Make-ahead: Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for up to 2 hours.)
Bake in 425°F (220°C) oven, turning once, until crisp and golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
