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

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
