Sandwichitos de Mezcla
Description
Sandwichitos de Mezcla are a soft party sandwich, not too far off from a pimento cheese sandwich, that you’ll find at almost every gathering in Puerto Rico. A surprising mix of ingredients comes together to create an unexpectedly addictive snack. For a firmer spread that’s easier to handle, you can chill the mezcla in the refrigerator for about an hour before assembling the sandwich.
Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) can spam, cubed
- 1 (15-ounce) jar cheez whiz
- 1 (8-ounce) block of cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 (6-ounce) jar roasted red peppers
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 loaf soft white bread
Directions
- In a food processor, combine SPAM, Cheez Whiz, cream cheese, roasted red peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and lemon juice. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Trim the crusts from the bread and spread a generous amount of mezcla between two slices. Press down gently to ensure the mezcla spreads to the edges.
- Cut each sandwich diagonally into halves or quarters. Arrange on a serving platter.
