Uses for leftover corn tortillas?

[lightningandsnow]

I have a bunch from making enchiladas last night. Other than enchiladas, what can I do with them?

1. Cut them into triangles and fry 'em!

Instant nacho chips.

4. Yep, and make a fresh guacamole (from scratch, not mix).

:fainting from hunger on CMW's night to cook:

7. I also agree with this recommendation

2. I agree with GOPisEvil

Fresh nachos, yum.

3. Chilaquiles!

Yum. That is all.



Some eggs, some cheese, a little enchilada sauce. Pure heaven. Tofu or chicken if you want a little extra body.

9. Yes! I mean, does one really need to ask that question?

Your answer has been the official answer as long as corn tortillas have been leftover.

(But then I suppose not everyone is of Mexican descent or has lived in the Southwest and learned from those with ethnic expertise on the matter)

5. Break into bite size pieces, mix with scrambled eggs add some

green onion, green chilies and some cheddar cheese. This is one of our all time favorite breakfast/brunch items. We also like to add a little salsa after they are cooked.

6. Frisbies!

Nah. The other ideas posted are good. You can also make tostadas with older tortillas, or a sopa azteca.

8. Hard or soft? If soft, use them as wraps.

I'm celiac, so bread is a memory. Soft corn tortilla wraps (filled with cheesesteak, spinach, egg salad, pretty much anything) are what I live on, at least at lunchtime. Outstanding, wonderful, versatile. If they're hard tortillas (which would make for some unusual enchiladas, but still), go with GOPisEvil's suggestion.
