  • A Happy Discovery

    Katie Grace, who must be a muse for all her inspiration,
    introduced me to a new food (again!) last week: uncooked tortillas.

    She found them at Costco in the refrigerated section.
    They look like little circles of dough.

    You heat a dry skillet, grill, pan, what-have-you.
    Place the tortilla on the medium high heated pan.

    After a short time, flip them over to the other side.
    Be careful!  The bubbles are pockets of steam.

    These are perfect plain, better in burritos, fabulous in fajitas.
    One you have fresh tortillas, you will never go back to the ones on the shelf.

    The uncooked tortillas freeze well and must be refrigerated until cooked.
    It’s not health food, but in moderation they’re not deal breakers (140 cals).

    This fits right in with  Mireille Guiliano‘s concept of sensible pleasure. 
    One of these puppies filled with grilled onions and peppers,
    marinated grilled meat, lettuce and salsa is better than anything
    you could possible get at Taco Bell.  Muy bien!

  • DD#2 wants a Mexican Fiesta for her birthday meal.  This sounds like just what I need.  Thanks for your help!

  • Interesting!!  We have always just bought the premade ones and heated them up on a skillet, but this sounds way better!  I wonder if Wegmans carries them?
