Flour or Corn Tortillas
Flour or corn - that is the question, at least, on the Top Chef show from last week, where someone failed to specify which one she wanted and she got the wrong one. I didn't realize there was such a controversy over which tortilla to make enchiladas with. I've made them and probably used flour since I stopped using corn for tacos. We didn't like how crunchy they got and broke up before we could eat them. So since then I always buy the flour, until this weekend. I wanted to make a new dish with my turkey leftovers called Turkey Taquitos. It called for corn tortillas so I bought white corn tortillas. I thought they might be different so I felt it was worth a try. Well, I found them to be very difficult to roll up, they cracked very easily and they seemed to absorb way too much oil when I cooked them. They were definitely crunchy but not like those old ones I used for tacos. Then I had an idea to use them in my quesadilla maker with the same ingredients. Big mistake! It's been awhile since I used it and forgot that it said not to use corn tortillas. I still have a little filling so I might make a regular quesadilla with my flour tortillas. I guess I'm not up on all the Mexican food formalities and what I use where. I do know what I like and I guess it's back to the drawing board for me.
