Any ideas on using up corn tortillas?

[imagine]

I have a few packages of corn tortillas that have been "giving" to me.

I have used them to make enchiladas.

Any other ideas on what I can do with them? Besides fry them up and make corn chips.

Last batch we had I cut into smaller pices and deep fried for chips. Yum

Tortilla Skillet

12 corn or flour tortillas
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1 can (15 oz) whole tomatoes, drained
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Prepare tortillas and cut into thin strips. Heat in 10-inch skillet until hot. Cook tortillas and onions, turning occasionally, until tortillas are crisp (about 10 min). Stir in tomatoes, oregano, salt & pepper. Sprinkle with cheese and heat just until cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream if desired.

NOTES:

I don't use that much oil. I use just a regular onion. I don't drain the tomatoes and I used diced instead of whole. I add in a can of olives that I sliced up. I also add in a dash or two of garlic and chili powder. I also don't cook the tortillas until they are as crispy because of my jaw (TMJ).

This is also good with some leftover chicken in it.

What is Huevos rancheros?

Cut them in strips for tortilla soup. (chicken soup with veg and hot sauce)

Use them for tacos, crispy or not.

Freeze them for later.

Do you just put the strips in the soup?

How do you make crispy taco shells?

[jennypenny]

I use mine for...
totilla soup (just make a mexican style, chicken soup-tear up stips in bowl before spooning soup in)
soft tacos
taquitos
maybe cut into strips, deep fry, then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar

Hope that helps!

I just deep fry them in very hot oil and lay on paper towels. I think the trick is to make sure the oil is hot enough.

I like using them for breakfast. Breakfast tacos. I scramble some eggs with onion and bell pepper, then make some bacon - roll them up in a tortilla - maybe add some cheese. YUMMY

1. freeze them

2. hot ungreased griddle, cook on both sides, dot of butter, serve like bread. good!

3. tacos (cook them first)

Call me crazy, but I don't fry anything! I just cut up my tortillas with a pizza cutter and put them on a nonstick cookie sheet and bake for a few minutes in the oven! Chips without all the extra fat or grease!
