I have leftover corn tortillas in a bag. What can I do with them? The recipe called for 6, although I purchased the smallest bag available, I still have quite a few sitting in the bag on the kitchen counter.

Thank you all so much for these recipes. I always buy mine fresh from someone but they only sell them by a bag of 36. Since there are only two of us, we can't use them all at once. I like to serve them, browned, with Chili or just a a bowl of red beans and sausage. I am going to try the cassorole. : )

For breakfast - Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush tortillas with oil. Beat 3-4 eggs. Cut 2 potatoes into cottage fries. Chop1/2 C onion. Use 1/2 C or as needed shredded cheddar.
When oven heats drape tortillas over one space (two tines) and heat till crispy, light brown. Cook cottage fries till brown adding onions until caramelized. Scramble eggs. Load up your squared tortillas with potatoes & onions, eggs, and top with cheese. Serve with salsa. As an extra - try some Ranch Style Beans under the eggs for a real southern Texas flavor! WOW!

Wow, this is great! I have a bunch leftover too that I would like to cook up but here is the receipe that I have for my corn tortillas found on kraftfoods.com.

1 lb. extra lean ground beef
1 green pepper, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1 jar (16 oz.) Salsa
1 can (14-1/2 oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen corn, thawed
12 corn tortillas (6 inch)
1-1/2 cups Shredded Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese, divided

PREHEAT oven to 375°F. Brown meat with peppers in large skillet; drain. Return to skillet. Stir in salsa, tomatoes and corn; bring to boil.

SPOON 1 cup of the meat mixture into 13x9-inch baking dish; top with 6 tortillas, overlapping as necessary. Cover with half each of the remaining meat mixture and cheese; top with remaining tortillas and meat mixture. Cover with foil.

BAKE 25 to 30 min. or until heated through. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Let stand 5 min. or until cheese is melted.

Its a great dish... large serving size as a 13X9 pan serves 6... only 8 points on Weight Watchers.

Dice, or tear ( the smaller, the faster they intergrate)
stale corn tortillas and add as a thickening agent to both green chili, and red chili. It give an real Mexican taste.

I cut flour tortillas up into triangles or fun shapes and deep fry them about 1 to 2 minutes until they are light and golden.I drain them on a paper towel and while they are still hot I sprinkle both sides with cinnamon sugar.They are delicious and habit forming.Be careful when frying because when they are put into the hot oil they puff up and can burst and the hot oil could hit you.I haven`t had that happen though.I use a large slotted spoon to get them out of the oil because that way just about all the oil drips back into the pan.

Here is a favorite of ours...I call it enchilada casserole.

Hamburger (browned)
Shredded cheese ( fiesta blend 2 pkgs)
Corn tortillas
enchilada sauce

Layer in a 9x13 pan ingredeients Starting with Hamburger and ending with enchilada sauce topped with cheese. Bake until chese on top is melted and the rest is heated through @ 350 for about 30 min.

When I do this it usually takes about 8 tortillas...Then I just store the rest in the fridge until next time...HTH

Here's a family favorite:

Tortilla Surprise
You mix one can of tomato soup, and one can of cream of mushroom soup. You tear up the tortillas into bite size pieces and add it to the soup mixture. Simmer until the tortillas are soft.

You can also add:
Diced green chiles
A can of whole kernel corn
Black olives, whole or diced
Chopped onions
Cooked ground meat
Shredded Cheese
Dollops of Sour Cream

Like I said, this is a family favorite and has been around our home for a long time. It's a recipe that allows a lot of experimentation and is a very "forgiving" recipe. I always use the soups as the base, add the torn corn tortillas, then throw in whatever suits my mood, lol.

I've even poured the mixture into a greased baking pan and baked it like a lasagna, layering the ingredients in.

We like to take the leftover corn tortillas and
cut them into wedges...place them on a pan and
bake at about 400º until they're nice and
crispy... Treat them like corn chips then. Add
cheese and salsa, black bean dip...whatever you
like best, and munch away.
