RE: Recipes Using Corn Tortillas
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!

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.

RE: Recipes Using left over Corn Tortillas
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.

RE: Recipes Using Corn Tortillas
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.

RE: Recipes Using Corn Tortillas
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

RE: Recipes Using Corn Tortillas
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.

RE: Recipes Using Corn Tortillas
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.
