Ultimate Cheddar Ranch Chicken Salad Wrap

Tortilla Talk

Tortillas are a familiar food beloved in numerous cuisines extending far past just Mexican-inspired fare. And while dishes like enchiladas, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, and, of course, wraps get plenty of attention, you can do so much more with them. Here are some new ideas to help get you started:

• Tortilla Pizza: Transform tortillas into individual pizzas. Top them with pizza sauce, cheese, and your preferred toppings. Bake until the edges are crispy and the cheese is bubbly for a quick and easy pizza alternative. For even more flavor, brush them with butter and sprinkle garlic powder and grated parmesan cheese on the edges prior to baking.
• Tortilla Bowls: Mold tortillas into bowls by placing them upside-down in muffin tins and baking until they hold a bowl shape. Fill with salads, dips, or even desserts for a crunchy, edible vessel.
• Tortilla Strips: Slice tortillas into thin strips, bake or fry until crispy, and use them as a crunchy topping for soups and stew to add texture and a delicious fried corn flavor.
• Tortilla Croutons: Cut tortillas into small squares, flavor with your choice of seasonings, bake until golden and crispy, and toss them into salads or soups for a delightful and unexpected crunch.
• Tortilla Roll-ups for Dessert: Spread Nutella or cream cheese on tortillas, add sliced fruits, roll them up, and slice into bite-sized pieces for a sweet and easy-to-eat treat.
• Tortilla Spirals: Spread your favorite dip (like spinach and artichoke) on a tortilla, roll it up, and slice it into tiny pinwheels for a fun and appetizing party snack. Add thinly sliced deli meats to the spread for more flavor and substance.
• Tortilla Breakfast Cups: Line muffin tins with tortillas, crack an egg into each cup, and bake until the egg is set. Add toppings like cheese, avocado, and salsa for a zesty take on breakfast.
• Tortilla Samosas: You can use tortillas as a quick substitute for traditional samosa dough! Simply fill them with spiced potatoes, peas, and other veggies, then fold and bake for a unique twist on a classic Indian dish.
