Cooking with Corn Tortillas

we here in mexico, eat corn tortillas almost everyday here. Of course they are sold fresh and hot on almost every corner in mexico. If you bought at store and they seem alittle hard. But in micro for 15 seconds, then add fillings to fold them. Works for me.

I have been looking for that too but found out there is still wheat (gluten) in it .. so not corn for real. Might be this is only in my country?

Hello Belindayhughes, I´m happy to read your post, as Maryperalta I´m from Mexico too. And tortilla is one of our basic meals. They are very popular. When you prepare them with chilis and tomatoes you can add them some sliced chicken, cream, bacil, garlic powder, spicy sausage and cheese. These are called "enchiladas", on the web you´ll find many recipe variations in english. It´s a good idea to make like a cheese tortilla sandwich, we call them "sincronizadas" or "burritos". In some places they use flour tortilla and roll them and called them burritos. But in our home (that´s yours too) we call them sincronizada or burrito. Sincronizada most of time is like a cheese sandwich and we add a slice of ham, and we add lettuce, sliced tomato and avocado. To make quezadillas as Mary suggested it is good to microwave the cold tortilla for 10 secs. You can add a lot of things to the quezadilla, the base is tortilla and cheese, but you can add them (yummiiii) mushroom, poultry chicken, spicy sausage, meat (in any time), most leaftovers, rice, smashed beans, eggs, pork, veggies. Wow, I´m hungry. And well tacos, you can always make tacos of everything you want, even a taco with cream and salt, or cream, salt, chili and avocado . I love the fried potato tacos and fried chicken tacos, with tiny sliced lettuce, cheese and cream on them. You roll your taco, and fry it softly, or hard, as you want. If you make a grill you can serve it on tortillas. What I have never heard about, never ever, it´s so funny and weird to me is to read about your sweet tortilla, with all respect you deserve dear friend. I´m talking with my husband and we have never tried a sweet tortilla, thanks you for sharing your recipe. We´ll try it some day. Blessings Belindayhughes... dainy

Today i was at super market, even i saw some gluten free tortilla chips today. There was $2 off on them. But my sister denied to buy them, as she said we are not going to eat anything like this for a month or two as we are on diet. In stead i got lot of leeks, lemongrass, lettuce and chicken to make soup for us. i also took a small bottle of diet mayonnaise to add on my bread a drop or two of it for taste. I was drooling over the new load of brie, ricotta and cambrette but my diet was strangling in my neck so i just took them in my hand and kept them back. For once when i feel i am losing i am surely buying some ricotta and make myself a wonderful risotto soon.

I use them and make bacon cheese quesadillas. I also like a veggie fajita with them too. I am turning into a veggie person over meat these days. And everything fits on tortillas and you can just add sour cream and roll em up. Enjoy yours.

If you like tortillas try this great way I use them here. Cut them up in strips and fry them. Then add a small can of tomatoe sauce. Let them soak the tortillas up. Top with 2 fried eggs and sour cream. I bet youll like it.
