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

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
