If you’re a Mexican cuisine fan then you probably enjoy the taste of a tortilla. Have you ever wondered whether corn or flour tortillas are the best choice? While many of us pay attention to the tortilla fillings like how much cheese, beans or cream is used, we often fail to take into account whether corn or flour is the best way to go.

Let’s kick things off with flour tortillas. True to their name, these tortillas use white flour which packs plenty of protein. These tortillas tend to be larger than their corn cousins, allowing you to add more ingredients to the filling. Flour is also rich in iron as well as in calcium, the latter helping keep the bones strong and healthy.

Corn is often deemed a whole grain, meaning it has nutritional value. On top of that, corn has magnesium which assists with type 2 diabetes, regulating blood pressure, and may even help fight the effects of depression. Furthermore, corn has fiber, which lowers blood sugar levels and also assists with bowel movements. Corn tortillas have less fat plus fewer carbs and calories than flour tortillas. However, corn tortillas may bot pack the same level of protein as flour tortillas.

Now that you have a basic idea of what flour and corn tortillas are all about, you can make an informed decision on which one works best for your next tortilla meal.

You may have come across the term “nixtamal”, but have you ever been curious as to its origins or how it relates tortillas? The word has a deep history going back to the Aztecs and it was meant to detail the procedure which uses partly cooked and lime-soaked corn. The Aztecs would explore riverbeds in search of limestone rock which was used as a corn grinder of sorts. This process would eventually come to be known as nixtamalization.

Nixtamal can be ground into masa to make foods like tortillas, tamales, or finely ground patted discs. The Spanish word ‘masa’ is the name given to describe the corn dough. Nixtamal also provides flexibility since it can be kept in its full form to make pozole, perhaps better known as hominy.

The many benefits reaped by nixtamal were discovered by the Aztecs using a tried and true approach: experimenting with it. They quickly noticed it served as an energy source and may have enhanced their spiritual alertness without negatively affecting the digestive system. As science has evolved exponentially since the days of the Aztecs, the amino acid niacin found in nixtamal may be beneficial in the reduction of bad cholesterol, getting rid of toxins, and cell repair.

Today, it’s all about green chile chicken enchiladas, a great way to welcome the arrival of Humpday. Here we go!

• Chopped cilantro
• A cup of your favorite tomatillo salsa
• Sliced onion
• A cup of your favorite green enchilada sauce
• Sliced radishes
• A small can of diced, roasted green chiles
• Crumbled queso fresco
• A ¼ cup of heavy cream
• Two cups of Monterey Jack cheese
• Vegetable oil

• Eight corn tortillas

Begin by placing the green chiles, tomatillo salsa, heavy cream, and enchilada sauce in a blender and then mixing until the ingredients turn into a smooth sauce. Set it aside for the time being.

Using a frying pan over high heat, pour sufficient vegetable oil so that the corn tortillas can be submerged, it should be roughly half an inch. Once the oil is hot enough, use tongs to dip the tortillas, going one at a time. Fry them until they become pliable and sturdy. Carefully shake them to get rid of excess oil and then place in a shallow dish. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.

Grab a small handful of chicken and Monterey Jack cheese and place them at one end of the tortilla before rolling it up and then placing the tortilla with its seam side down in a baking dish. Repeat for the rest of the tortillas. Pour some sauce over the enchiladas and then cover them with whatever Jack cheese you have left.

Place the baking dish in an oven, turn up the heat to 350 degrees, and bake until the cheese has bubbled and turns brown. Use the ingredients above for garnish and serve hot.

Do you need a pick me up to get you through the day? Take a look at this veggie and cheesy chicken enchilada recipe able to serve up to six people.

• Three chicken breasts diced medium to small
• A tablespoon of black pepper mix and salt
• A medium, fine julienne white onion
• Pair of teaspoons of sazon
• A tablespoon of fine minced garlic
• A tablespoon of chicken bullion
• A tablespoon of neutral oil
• A tablespoon of cumin
• Eight ounces of roasted red bell pepper
• A cup of black beans
• ¾ cups of baby spinach
• Half a cup of button mushroom slice

For the sauce

• Half a cup of unsalted butter
• Twelve medium flour tortillas
• Half a cup of all-purpose flour
• Pair of tablespoons of ground black pepper mix and kosher salt
• A cup of milk (make sure to reserve half)
• A cup of shredded cheddar cheese blend

Using medium heat, grab a large deep saucepan and the oil, mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Use the pepper and salt for seasoning before adding the chicken to start cooking. Coat the chicken by tossing the ingredients with a wooden spoon or a plastic spatula able to withstand high temperatures. Continue to cook until the chicken is light golden brown.

Add the black beans followed by spinach to the mixture and then the roasted bell peppers and any seasonings you may have left. Cook the mixture until the spinach has wilted and then set it aside for now.

Using a shallow saucepan over medium heat, add the butter to melt. This step will create a roux. Once it has begun melting, slowly whisk the flour in, making sure to intermittently stir to combine. When the mixture is ready, it will look like a paste.

Continue stirring the roux so that it doesn’t become sticky and until it turns lightly brown. Intermittently add pepper and salt so the flavor can develop. When the roux is golden brown slowly add some of the milk. Remove the roux from the heat and then move it aside to stir the cheese in, about 1/3 at a time. If you notice the mixture is becoming stiff, add milk. If it’s too thin, add more cheese. Taste the mixture to adjust the amount of salt.

Coat a medium depth, full-size baking dish with pan spray. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. As the oven is heating, fill the tortilla shells with a 1/8 cup of the chicken mixture and then another 10/8 cup of the cheese mixture. Line them up rolled in the dish with the seams facing down.

Once all of the tortillas are filled, spoon the remaining mix on top of the enchiladas with some cheese on top to create a thick later. Wrap them up tightly in aluminum foil prior to baking them for fifteen minutes.

 Do you like seafood? Are you a tequila drinker? If you answered yes to both of those questions, this quesadilla recipe uses shrimp plus the popular Mexican drink to create something different from your average quesadilla. Here’s what you’ll need.

• Four flour tortillas (ten inches)
• Three tablespoons of vegetable oil
• A teaspoon of grated lime zest
• Three cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• A 1/3 cup of tequila
• A ¼ cup of fresh, minced cilantro
• A teaspoon of canned and minced chipotle chile in adobo
• Pair of thinly sliced scallions with the green and white parts separated
• Pair of minced garlic cloves
• One and a half pounds of deveined and peeled, medium-large shrimp halved lengthwise with the tails removed
• Pepper and salt

Heat your oven to 450 Fahrenheit after adjusting your oven to the middle position. Use aluminum foil to line a rimmed baking sheet and then brush it with a tablespoon of oil. Toss some of the scallion greens, Monterey Jack cheese, and cilantro.

Make sure the shrimp is patted dry with paper towels and then use the pepper and salt for seasoning. Use a nonstick skillet of twelve inches over medium heat to warm up a tablespoon of the oil until it begins to shimmer. Add a ¼ teaspoon of salt, the scallion whites, chipotle, and garlic and then cook until the mixture becomes soft, which should take about two minutes or so. Add the tequila and simmer until it has evaporated and the pan becomes dry, which should take roughly five minutes.

Add the shrimp and cook it for about three minutes, making sure to stir it often until it has cooked through and has become opaque. Move it over to a bowl, stir in the zest, and allow it cool for about five minutes before thoroughly draining.

After laying out the tortillas on a surface, sprinkle about half of the cheese mixture over one half of the tortilla, making sure to leave a border of about a half inch around the edges. Add a layer of shrimp and then sprinkle it with whatever you have left of the cheese mixture. Fold over the other half of the tortilla and press down firmly to compact it.

Place the tortillas on a prepared sheet with the rounded edges facing the sheet center. Use the last tablespoon of oil to brush and then bake the quesadillas until they turn brown, which should take about ten minutes. Flip them over and use a spatula to gently compact them before baking until they become golden brown. Allow them to cool before serving.

How does a chicken enchilada casserole with green chile sound as a meal to start the week? It’s easy to prepare and it’s another recipe you can add to your meal preparation repertoire. Let’s begin.

• Pair of cups of either cooked shredded chicken or pork
• Pair of cups of shredded cheese (may have to use four cups if you’re sticking to vegetarian)
• Four cups of heated chile sauce
• At least twelve but no more than sixteen corn tortillas (dip them in hot oil and allow them to drain once they become soft)

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Grab a casserole dish and add a layer of the prepared corn tortillas before topping them with a cup of chile sauce followed by either the chicken or pork (whichever you chose) and then top it with another tortilla layer. Continue to add layers until you’ve achieved your desired level of thickness. Top these layers with cheese you have left before baking for about 35 minutes and then broiling for about four minutes.

Top with onions, and lettuce, and tomatoes should you wish to do so and you’re ready to serve.

Much like a burrito, fajitas hold a near-universal appeal. Throw in some meat like chicken and you’ve got a great summer recipe. The recipe below will show you how to do just that with enough portions for four to six people. Here we go!

• Sour cream or Cashew Cream mix

• A pair of stemmed, thinly sliced and seeded green bell peppers
• A teaspoon of salt
• A medium, thinly sliced red onion
• Tablespoon of chili powder

• Pair of tablespoons of Red Wine Vinaigrette (may also use vegetable oil)

Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees and then toss the vinaigrette, salt, peppers, chili powder, chicken, garlic, and onion together in a large mixing bowl until everything is evenly coated.

Make sure to stir halfway through the cooking process.

When only five minutes remain in baking, use aluminum foil to wrap the tortillas and place them in an oven until they are warmed through. You may also wrap the tortilla stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them on high for a minute.

Evenly distribute the fajita mixture among the warmed tortillas and serve along with the sour cream.
