The
Versatile Tortilla for Any Meal
Homemade
tortillas can be used to create a variety of dishes at any
meal time! The taco, featured at right, is just one of the most
popular uses in the United States for the versatile tortilla.
A staple in Mexico, the flour tortilla is made in homes daily
and used as bread for every meal, filled or not. To use as bread
Mexican-style at mealtime, place the flat tortilla on the dinner
table and, with the palm of the hand, press down on the tortilla
at the closest end, pushing forward to roll it up tightly. It
can be eaten alone, or dipped into soups, salsa or chili.
American style, you can spread with peanut butter and roll up
with a banana to make a tasty convenient snack that kids will
love! Or, make your own Cinnamon
Chips for snacks.
Make a quick and satisfying lunch with slices of fruit, cheese
puffs and a tortilla filled with sliced lunch meats, hamburger
and/or veggies.
