      Eat More Tortillas - Donna Kelly

      Introduction

      The thin, flexible flatbread we know as a tortilla began as a humble peasant food in Mexico and is now a well-loved staple in kitchens all over the world. Tortillas are traditionally used in Mexican dishes such as burritos, tacos, and quesadillas. But tortillas can be so much more.

      Who doesn’t love the portability that soft tortillas provide for wraps? In their soft form, tortillas also work great to make such tempting appetizers and meals as pinwheels, lasagna, crepes, and enchiladas.

      When crisp, they provide the crunch for favorite dishes like nachos and tacos and can be used to create crusts, toppings, chips, and tasty sweet treats.

      We welcome you to our collection of recipes that feature both classic dishes and creative new culinary adventures that you are sure to love.

      Helpful hints for cooking with corn and flour tortillas:

      Corn tortillas come in a standard 6-inch size. Generally, they must be cooked before being eaten. Heat an 8-inch or larger frying pan on the stovetop and lay a tortilla on the hot pan. With a spatula, flip the tortilla every 30–45 seconds, or until lightly toasted but bendable.

      Flour tortillas come ready to eat in a variety of shapes and sizes. In this book, we refer to flour tortillas in three sizes: small (6–7 inch diameter, often called taco size); medium (8–10 inch diameter, and most common size); and large (11–14 inch diameter, often called burrito size).

      Flour tortillas come in a variety of thicknesses, including an extra-thick version called gordita style. These are heavier than average flour tortillas, and are often used in recipes that require baking, such as for main dishes.

      Flour tortillas often come in a variety of flavors, such as wheat, tomato, or spinach. These may be substituted for regular flour tortillas in any recipe, but baking times may need to be adjusted, and the flavor will be a little different.

      To prevent tortillas from cracking or breaking, soften them in the microwave before using. Place up to 4 tortillas at a time on a plate and cover with a paper towel. Microwave on high for 20–30 seconds, or until tortillas are soft and bendable. Keep covered with paper towel until ready to use.

      Tortillas store well in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks, or in the freezer 2–3 months. Always store opened tortillas in an airtight container.

      Rolling styles for tortillas vary according to each recipe. Generally, jelly-roll style means rolling the tortilla in a tight roll with both ends open. Burrito style means folding the ends in and then rolling the tortilla in a large roll, with no openings.

      The first time you try baking a recipe, check the food 3–5 minutes before its minimum cooking time ends—each oven heats differently, so cooking time can vary.

      For the health conscious, low-fat or light ingredients can be used in all recipes.

      Never-Fail Flour Tortillas

      3 cups all-purpose flour

      1 teaspoon salt

      1 teaspoon baking powder

      1/3 cup lard, melted (for vegetarian tortillas, use vegetable or canola oil)

      1 cup hot water

      Stir together all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 1 full minute. Place in an oiled bowl. Cover bowl with a large kitchen towel and let sit in a warm place for about 1 hour.

      Make 12 balls of dough. Roll each ball out on a lightly floured surface to make a 10–12-inch circle. Cook on a large griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat until lightly browned
