Answer 4

stuff w/ seasoned beef or chicken, roll up tightly and roll = flautas

stuff w/ meat, roll up, cover in sauce = enchiladas

cut into strips and add to chicken soup = tortilla soup

Answer 5

You can make taquitos. I make this roast and with the leftover beef  I add jalapeno jack cheese strips. I put it inside a corn tortilla and fry until crisp. Serve with guacamole, salsa, and sour cream. To make the guacamole take a couple ripe avocados, mashed. Add a little lemon juice, 1 tsp packaged taco mix, a little tobasco, 1 tb sour cream and mix together. This roast can be made in the oven in a roasting pan. Just cut the time in half and bake at 350F.

Savory Roast Beef

3-4 lb roast

1 can cream of mushroom soup

3 tb steak sauce (optional)

1 can water

1 package dried Lipton onion soup mix

Place roast in crock pot. Add steak sauce to top and spread to coat evenly. Add cream of mushroom soup on top spreading to coat. Sprinkle onion soup on top and add water. Cook on low for about 8-10 hours or until meat separates easily. Serves 4.

For French Beef dip sandwiches: French Rolls, roast beef, and Au Jus Mix with a little of the drippings from the roast added for dipping. Horseradish Sauce if you like it.

Answer 8

Several things -

Coat with olive oil - add chicken/steak/BBQ pork (already cooked) and shredded cheese

wrap tight/roll up and bake at 350 for 15/20mins.

Also - you can use a muffin pan - put tortillas in stuff with fav. meat or vegs or whatever and fold edges over - put toothpick in to hold and bake at 350 again for 15 mins.

You can also make a mexican salad, toast in oven and crumble over salad for a nice crunch.

Answer 9

cut them into fourths and fry them in a skillet, they make good chips for chip and dip.

Answer 10

corn tortillas are healthier that flour ones.  you can use them in many ways, the only thing is, they must be cooked (unlike the flour ones)  

Soooo...I like to add some sauteed veggies and rice all spiced up with taco seasonings and chz (or cooked shredded meats or shrimp if you like)  then fold into the tortillas.  Brush them with olive oil, or spray olive oil on them, and then bake them till crispy and chz melts.  about 400 for 10 mins or so.

Another awesomly easy and impressive option--cut them into quarters or sixes, like pie slice shapes, and deep fry them to make chips!  then just make some homemade guac and pico for a party!  they are sooo good hot and thick yum.

Answer 11

Cut them in 1/4 or 1/8 and fry them up.

Make crunchy taco shells by frying them in deep oil and hold them with tongs, folded in 1/2.

Use them in fish tacos. Use a basic white fih. Make up a spicy seasoning and coat the fish in the seasoning, then cook. Split the fish in 1/2 lengthwise and serve with shredded cabbage, tomatoes, olives, salsa, and a sauce made up of cilantro, jalapeno, mayo, and sour cream.
