Need Ideas For Corn Tortillas And Recipes For Flour Tortillas


Allielayla

Recommended Posts

Allielayla Newbie

I am looking for some meal and recipes ideas that would use corn tortillas. I am really hoping to find some non-tex-mex ideas as well. I just don't want everything to have a similar taste. I find the corn tortillas quick and easy (and safe). Also is anyone has a good gluten-free flour tortilla recipe, I would be really grateful.

Thanks,

Allie

Quesadillas--fill with cheese, any meat, beans, whatever you like really.

Tacos

Enchiladas

Fajitas--beef, chicken or all veggies--peppers, onions are traditional, but whatever stirfried veggies and seasonings you like works too.

Taco salad-- line a large muffin cup with tortillas, brush with oil and bake until crispy, then fill with meat/veggies. or just do chips and top with meat and salad toppings.

corn chips-- brush with oil, cut into chips with a pizza cutter and bake at 350 for around 15 minutes or until crispy-- watch closely the last few minutes so they don't burn.

Peanut butter and jelly tortillas

Tortilla pizza-- dot with a small amount of sauce, cheese and whatever toppings you like and bake until the shell is crispy

migas. otherwise known as corn tortilla french toast with salsa instead of syrup. it's good with the syrup instead of the salsa too. (add cinnamon!)

i use them in garlic soup instead of bread/croutons.

roll-ups with sandwich fillings like tuna salad, turkey, etc

I find corn to be a pretty strong flavor that i like best with the bean/cheese/salsa trio though.

Use corn tortillas as pizzas. Bake a little. Brush with olive oil, add pizza sauce and toppings and bake until ready.

I don't have real masa and make "polenta tortillas" instead using precooked polenta. Tastes different but good too. Here's what I like to make:

- fry them on butter and then coat in cinnamon sugar.

- cut in quarters and deep-fry in sunflower oil to make fresh chips (they have great discounts on avocados now, I'm on a guacamole&chips diet until it's over :P )

- slice them and fry with onion and salsa or with eggs, onions, tomatoes, chilles, whatever's in the house.

- plain old quesadillas are great. You can always fill them with more stuff than just cheese.

- warm them up and put butter and jam on top or butter, salt and sliced garlic

My kids love them with rolled up with cream cheese, ham, and cheese

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!
