Recipes with Flour Tortillas FAQ
What are some creative ways to use flour tortillas?
You can use flour tortillas in all kinds of creative ways, like layering them in casseroles, as the base for quick tortilla pizzas and for handheld snacks. Press small tortillas (or punch out rounds with a biscuit cutter) into muffin tins to make edible cups for egg scrambles or pulled pork. To make a crunchy topping, slice tortillas into strips, season with salt, cumin or chili powder and bake until crisp before sprinkling over Mexican-inspired soups or salads. For best results, warm flour tortillas before folding to prevent breakage, and store extras in a sealed food storage bag to keep them from drying out.
What quick tortilla snacks can I bring to a potluck?
The best quick tortilla snacks for a potluck are easy to prep, travel well and don’t need to be reheated, like mini tortilla cups, seasoned tortilla chips and roll-ups. Quick tortilla pinwheels are a smart and versatile option that you can make your own by using flavored cream cheese instead of plain or switching up the type of cheese in the filling. Bring guacamole, hummus or fruit salsa to eat with crispy tortilla chips as a well-rounded snack. If you want a sweet, no-bake option, try roll-ups with peanut butter and banana or cream cheese and jam.
What dinner ideas with tortillas can I make ahead?
The best make-ahead tortilla dinners include freezer burritos and cassero
les that cook quickly when you’re ready to eat. To stock your freezer, roll seasoned rice, beans, cheese and cooked meat in flour tortillas, then wrap in foil and freeze for quick burrito meals you can reheat anytime. For something cozy and oven-ready, try saucy baked dishes like our cheesy beef enchiladas, which can be assembled ahead and baked when needed. You can also make a big batch of crispy chicken flautas and reheat them in the oven or air fryer to bring back the crunchy exterior. For extra flexibility, prepare fillings like slow-cooked pork or fajita veggies that you can use on top of grain bowls or in tacos throughout the week.
