At HHHunt, we’re huge sports fans and love it when our homeowners, residents and team members come together to watch sporting events. Besides watching the game, we all know that the food is the most important part of any game day party. Traditional foods like nachos, pigs in a blanket, and chips and dip are always a fan favorite. However, if you’re looking to enjoy healthier tailgating foods, it can be a challenge. Check out these two classic game-day recipes that were lightened up just in time for kickoff!

Yield 6 servings
15 min total time, 5 mins prep
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons apple cider
- 3 (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 6 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and cut into ¼ inch-thick slices, divided
- 1 apple, cored and cut into ¼ inch-thick slices, divided
- 3 cups arugula, divided
- ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
Instructions
- Whisk together mustard and apple cider in a small bowl.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spread each tortilla with 1/3 of the mustard mixture and place in the hot skillet, mustard side up. Arrange 1/3 of the brie slices on half of the tortilla. Once the cheese starts to melt, arrange 1/3 of the apple slices on the cheese and top with 1 cup of arugula. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of black pepper.
- Fold tortilla in half and press with a spatula to stick the sides together. Cook about 2 minutes or until golden brown, flip, and cook another 2 minutes on the other side.
