Joy's Kid-Size Pizzas
Contributed by Donna of Libertyville, Illinois.

These pizzas will be so popular with your kids (and you!), you'll wonder how you survived without them!

1/8 - 1/4 Tsp Joy's Salsa Mix

1 Tbs olive oil

4 English muffins, cut in half

1 Cup pizza sauce or tomato sauce

1/2 Cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Optional Toppings:

Onion (sautéed), Pepperoni, Black Olives, Mushrooms, etc.

Preheat the oven broiler. Place English muffins face down on cookie sheet. Lightly toast bottom of muffin.

Mix together pizza/tomato sauce with Joy's Salsa Mix.

Brush toasted muffins with olive oil, then spread 2 tablespoons of the sauce mixture on each of the muffin halves. Top with shredded cheese and your choice of toppings.

Place muffins back on cookie sheet and return to broiler. Cook until cheese melts and toppings are warm, about 2 minutes.

Yield: 4 Servings

2 Tbs flour

1/2 Tsp salt

1/4 Tsp pepper

Yield: 4 Servings


Joy's Tailgate Kabobs

Sauce:

1 teaspoon Joy's Salsa Mix
(remember, the more you add, the hotter it gets!)
6 ounces Barbeque Sauce (optional: Tomato Sauce)

Kabob Bits:

8 ounces steak, cubed
8 ounces pork tenderloin, cubed
8 ounces chicken breast, cubed
1 cup mushrooms
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup poblano peppers, cut into squares

Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine barbecue sauce and Salsa Mix. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Set aside to cool slightly.

Kabobs: Skewer meat pieces onto kabob stick as preferred. Place on grill and brush with sauce. Grill to desired doneness, brushing with sauce every few minutes. Skewer veggie pieces onto another stick and grill, using sauce if desired.

If you are indoors, try using your oven broiler. Arrange pieces on a broiler pan or cookie sheet and broil 4 to 5 inches from heat. Brush generously with sauce and broil to desired doneness.

Yield: About 20 sticks.


Joy's Trout with Black Bean Tequila

1 jar Joy's Black Bean Tequila Salsa

2 trout fillets

Olive oil

Salt and pepper

Lime wedges

Preheat grill. Oil a vegetable/fish tray (if you do not have one of these, fashion one yourself out of aluminum foil) with olive oil. Lay fillets on tray and sprinkle with salt and pepper to desired taste. Spread Black Bean Tequila Salsa liberally over trout, flipping the fillets to make sure both sides are covered with salsa. Squeeze lime juice over top.

Grill fillets for about 10 minutes, flipping occasionally. Fish should flake easily.

Serve with additional salsa and lime wedges.

Yield: 2 servings

Alternative: Try this recipe with chicken for an equally tasty treat.
