Tortilla Questions
Where can you buy corn tortilla shells? I want to make homemade hard taco shells. The recipe calls for CORN tortillas. But all I could find at the grocery store were about 20 different kinds of FLOUR tortilla shells. Does anyone sell these things?
What is a good oil for homemade tortilla chips? I found a recipe for baked tortilla chips and I would like to try it. It says to use vegetable oil to moisten the tortillas before baking, but is there a better oil to use in terms of keeping saturated and trans fats to a minimum? Thanks!
What can be used in nachos besides tortilla chips? Hi everyone. I was watching a movie earlier today and of course all movies have to have a refreshment or snack to go with them. And i thought why not make some nachos? But i didnt seem to have any tortilla chips to use with the nachos. Does anyone know what can be used besides tortilla chips in nachos?
How do you make tortilla chips? Today I wanted nachos but didn't have any chips. I found some soft tortillas, cut them into triangles, put some oil on them and they are now in the oven. I haven't yet found if my experiment worked or not but for future refrence I should know how to cook tortilla chips.
How do I get a stiff homemade tortilla to roll for an enchilada? Or at least how do I make a tortilla that will roll? I made a batch of tortilla dough and I have cooked two so far. They are both stiff and has the gross greyish look to them as if they haven't been cooked thru yet--but if I cook anymore they will burn! The second one I made was really thin but still had the same problem. I am using flour, crisco, salt, and water. Please help! My Apple Enchiladaas depend on you! Yeah, I would buy it at the store but this is for my Spanish Final and I need everything to be from scratch. Good idea tho! :)
How do you make baked tortilla chips? At our home we have to stay away from fried foods and from sodium but we are just dying for something to dip in the salsa. Any suggestions? I have heard that you can bake tortilla chips, but I don't have a clue what to do. Somebody help!
What would you do with a big bag of tortilla chips? Someone gave us a large (bulk size) bag of tortilla chips. We aren't the type to sit down and eat them all with a big bowl of salsa...but don't want it to go to waste. I really like making freeze-ahead meals (plus we have a baby due in 4 weeks) and I'm looking for ideas of what to do with these chips so they don't go to waste. I've heard tortilla chips can be frozen. Anyone have any freezable recipes that I could use these for or any other ideas? THANKS!
Help me choose a good tortilla recipe? Of course there are lots of recipes for for tortillas on the internet, but I am not sure what characteristics to look for so I can pick a recipe that will give me the kind of tortilla I want. What I want is a tortilla for making burritos. I like to really pack those burritos full of stuff, so I need a tortilla that is sort of stretchy, so it will stretch and not tear, and accommodate all the contents. I normally buy Azteca brand flour tortillas and they tear so easily. Taco Bell burrito shells are a little better but not the best. Qdoba burrito shells are the best ones I've tried, if I could make a tortilla at home like those ones it would be great. Seriously, I ordered a Qdoba burrito once that was stuffed so full I needed both hands to hold it and it was heavy too, but it didn't tear at all!
Can I make tortilla chips from flour tortilla wraps? I want 100% whole wheat tortilla chips. Would it be possible to cut up the tortilla wraps and bake them? Is there any way to make 100% whole wheat tortilla chips? Thanks! Cool, thanks for the idea! Is there a way to do it without oils? I'm trying to be healthy (key word TRYING, lol). I'll use oil if I have to but would like to make 'em without.
Anyone ever turn spinach dip into a flatbread/tortilla pizza?

Does anyone have a healthy chicken tortilla soup recipe? I got the canned stuff and it was all right, but I couldn't help thinking that I could do better. There was a ton of nutritionally useless white rice and very little veggies, beans, and lean chicken in it. The only recipe I came up with online includes bacon, almost a pound of cheese, and deep fried tortilla chips. Does anyone have a lighter from-scratch version? Thanks so much!

How do you build a tortilla press for over 12" & over tortillas? I have had bad luck in finding a toritilla press over or at 12". I have a bit of wood working knowledge and have seen plenty of "home-made" tortilla presses. So where do I find info or how do I make one for myself? Thanks! Addition: Are there coatings that can be put on the wood to protect it, yet that is safe to eat on after a few washes?

In general, living breads have been my most persistent problem. Thanks! Fermat
As a kid did you ever eat cold hot dogs wrapped in a tortilla? OMG, I used to LOVE cold hot dogs in a tortilla. It was so South side! LOL Sometimes we would warm the tortilla on the stove but it had a different taste when both were cold. Never mind it probably was not a good idea to eat a cold hot dog weiner due to possible listeria. YUM!
Tortilla pinwheel sandwiches? I know that not everyone likes mayo, mustard and various spreads on their sandwiches (or they just don't like the taste period). I'm making tortilla pinwheel sandwiches with various meats - some will have turkey only, roast beef only, various salames, ham & cream cheese, etc. For a party of 22 people would you put these condiments on some of the pinwheels and leave some dry or just leave them all dry? Of course there'll be cheese on some with lettuce. Thanks! Forgot to mention, this will be outside. Hopefully it won't be too warm/hot. Today was suppose to be 85 and I doubt it got over 74.
How to make homemade tortilla taquitos? While making taquitos with store bought corn tortillas is easy. I am having a difficult time with making them with home made tortillas. I use the recipe for tortillas on the back of the masa package. The tortillas turn out delicious (I use a tortilla press and cast iron pan for cooking). When I try to make taquitos though they don't roll well and crack to easily (I have used the steam and also the oil and microwave method to soften them before frying).

Tortilla Wraps - how do you made them stick once rolled? When you buy ready-made tortilla wraps in supermarkets or even on delis, the roll is stuck and securely wrapped up - when I make them they come undone and they are really hard to eat! Is there a knack to rolling them up? Thanks.
