Whether you’re a corn or flour tortilla fan, they each have valid reasons and uses. In this case, we’re taking a closer look at different and creative ways you can make use of corn tortillas. Let’s get started.

The first is perhaps the most obvious. Corn tortillas are great for making quesadillas, tacos, or enchiladas. Assuming you do plan to use them for tacos, strongly consider heating them up over medium to medium-high heat using a dry skillet or medium-low if you’re using a gas stove. When used for enchiladas, add a coat of cooking oil spray so they don’t become mushy.

Are you having a soup that feels a little too thin? Consider adding some corn tortillas before the soup simmers so they break down. You may also wish to cook them for a bit so they begin to break apart, allowing you to blend them.

Are you a lasagna fan but prefer the taste of enchiladas? Corn tortillas will add a unique spin to this longtime favorite dish. Chilaquiles are another great option you can use should you ever run into a scenario where you have leftover tortillas and aren’t sure what to do with them.

Enchiladas hold a strong appeal among many people and when they’re prepared just right, their taste is truly spectacular. An error in the preparation process, however, may result in an enchilada that is closer to soggy than tasty. A few simple tips can go a long way in making sure your enchiladas are always delectable.

Enchiladas have a strong reliance on green, red, and brown sauces. Regardless of whether you opt for peppers, tomatillos, or tomatoes as the enchilada base, make sure that there is strong consistency.

In regards to the tortillas, you want to fry them in hot oil prior to filling them with whatever ingredients you intend to use and rolling them up. The frying creates a barrier of sorts so that the tortillas don’t immediately soak up the ingredients and become soggy. Nixtamal corn tortillas are your best bet here.

Speaking of the filling, there are few rules when it comes to what to use. What you want to focus on is balance and texture. If you chose meats, consider slow cooking, grounding, or shredding them. For vegetables, make sure they are pre-cooked.

Summer is soon to arrive, why not enjoy some spring potato tacos? They taste great regardless of whether you choose flour or corn tortillas and they’ll take fewer than thirty minutes to prepare. Let’s get started.

• Five scallions or a trio of spring onions
• Lime wedges, salsa, and sliced jalapeño to serve
• Three tablespoons of olive oil (extra virgin)
• Half a cup of crumbled cotija cheese (five ounces)
• Kosher salt
• Eight small flour or corn tortillas
• A pound of scrubbed red potatoes cut into chunks of half an inch
• Pair of teaspoons of ground ancho chile

Begin by trimming the onions and cutting off the white parts from the green stalks. The greens should be thinly sliced while the whites should be diced.

Use a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat to heat up the oil. Add the sliced and diced onions and whites and then use salt for seasoning before cooking. Continue to regularly stir until the onions become soft and lightly brown. The process should take about two minutes or so.

Add the potatoes to the skillet and stir them so they become coated with the oil, then add a pinch of salt plus a sprinkling of ground chile before stirring again and spreading everything into an even layer. Pour half a cup of water in and then cover. Continue to cook and stir one or two times until the potatoes have become brown and tender and the water has evaporated. This should take about ten minutes.

During this process, use a skillet on medium-low heat to warm up the tortillas for about 45 seconds until they become slightly brown and pliable. Use foil or a clean kitchen towel to stack them.

Have a taste of the potatoes and add some more salt seasoning if you feel it’s necessary. Divide them among the tortillas you just warmed up and then gently smash the potatoes. Use the cheese and sliced spring onion greens to sprinkle on the tortillas followed by the jalapeño slices and salsa as a topping. You can also squeeze some lime juice if you wish.

It’s the weekend and many of us don’t want to spend too much of our time cooking when we’d rather be relaxing before returning to the daily weekday grind. With that in mind, these avocado and jack quesadilla triangles will satisfy every one of all ages and you won’t have to spend too much time in the kitchen to make them.

• Crushed flakes of red pepper or smoked paprika (optional)
• A medium halved and pitted ripe avocado
• A cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• A ¼ teaspoon of salt
• Four flour tortillas
• Fresh chopped cilantro or chives (optional)

Begin by scooping the avocado pulp into a small bowl and then mash it roughly using a spoon. Use the cilantro and salt for seasoning if you chose to use it.

Use a nonstick griddle over medium heat until you’re able to immediately evaporate a drop of water. Add a pair of tortillas in a single layer and then top with half a cup of cheese, making sure to spread it around so that there is only half an inch between the cheese and the edge. Use the pepper flakes to sprinkle if you decided to use them and then add another tortilla. Once the bottom tortilla has become hot and turned golden in about a minute, flip it over and heat the other side for thirty seconds or so.

Move the tortillas over to a cutting board and cut them into six wedges. Serve with the mashed avocado and enjoy!

When it comes time to have a quesadilla or a good old-fashioned taco, the tortilla you ultimately choose will play a critical role. Should you go with corn or flour? Making your decision isn’t quite as complicated as you may think.

For those seeking a healthier option, corn tortillas are the better way to go. They are packed with plenty of fiber, the sugar content is lower, and so is the saturated fat. Plus, if you’re focusing on portion control, flour tortillas are typically smaller in size.

Another way to help you make your decision is to figure out what you want to eat. While everyone has their preferences, breakfast or heartier tacos will arguably be better suited towards flour tortillas, which provide significant edible durability when you’re packing them with lots of ingredients. In other words, your fully loaded taco is less likely to fall apart if you go with flour tortillas. Burritos also work great with flour tortillas.

For tacos made in a Baja style using fish, consider corn tortillas. The corn will help the flavor come through.
