Corn Tortillas

[ryebaby0]

Just for fun, I wondered how you all use corn tortillas? My celiacs are living on them (it's our version of fast food) just as quesadillas (pepperoni and mozzarella) but I am thinking there has GOT to be more to do with them.....We have buttered them and spread cinnamon sugar on them; cut them into 8ths and baked them but that's been our only inspiration so far......

I use them for quesadillas, tacos, and burritos. A very good (but very fattening- all the yummy foods are) idea for tacos, are to fry the tortillas in vegetable oil. Then add ground turkey and chorizo, and you have a delicious taco!!!

I don't know of any other ways to use them- curious to find out!!!

One common idea is to bake them until they are a little bit crunchy and add heated canned black turtle beans, shredded cheese, and salsa or tomatoes and onions.

I put peanut butter on them ( I like the crunchy kind) and heat them in a microwave or pan. When the peanut butter gets melty, roll it up into a little taquito. Be careful, case the peanut butter gets hot, but its just decadent. For added oomph you can also throw in some chocolate chips.

Who needs peanut butter sandwichs? Not me.

I agree on the peanut butter. My husband is the celiac but my daughter loves them that way & so do I. We do our best to eat gluten free also.

Okay, exposing my gigantic ignorance here --- how do you make burritos?

Its a little harder with corn tortillas than with flour, because of the size issues, but I love burritos.

You need :(everything is pre-cooked) beans, rice ( meat if you want it) cheese, i like black olives, and a little sour cream and salsa.

I recommend nuking the tortillas for 15-20 seconds otherwise they break very easily.

Layer stuff up, start with the beans as a base, then rice then meat then the other stuff. be careful not to put too much or you won't be able to fold it.

For an extra treat you can grill them for a minute or two, but be careful cause accidents can be messy.

Super down and dirty burrito you can use fritos bean dip for the beans.

For folding I refer you to this ( I couldn't figure out how to explain it). Corn is also a fun filling.

Obviuosly this is flour tortilla but ignore that bit:

I used corn tortillas with hot dogs. I just made it the same as I would a normal hot dog but the tortilla was my "bun"....and it was good.

I've used them for burritos too.
