Tortillas

Place a damp paper towel or two around tortillas and then place a dry paper towel or two around that and depending on how many you want start microwaving at 30 second intervals for 4 and keep adding 20 seconds for more tortillas. Depending on your microwave it is trial and error but works fast.

The number of Weight Watchers points that are in a whole wheat tortilla is 1. The 1 point also includes spreading fruit on it as well.

It depends a lot on how big the corn tortiallas are, but usually anywhere between 60 and 150 calories each or so.

Boyle uses a very sarcastic tone to make a satire out of the novel. He uses these sarcasm comments only when he writes about delaney and kyra because of his contempt for americans. all in all he says that the americans are self centred selfish crazy etc. usually boyle writes more witty and funny -ironic but not in this case. he thinks that the book is too serious to make a fun out of it. and the sarcastic tone i mentioned: He doesn't uses it when he talks about america and candido

Yes; tortillas are made from baked corn flour -- killing any bacteria in the process, which instead, can result in mold to form within a week, if tortillas are not properly stored. To keep them fresh, you should wrap them with food wrapping paper and then put them inside a plastic bag (a ziploc bag will do); then put them in the fridge.

Tacos fall under many different food groups. The shell under grain, meat in meat, cheese in dairy, and whateverelse you like to put on your taco.

By adding in potatoes into your soup it will help tone it down!!!

It is called taco.

The number of servings will depend completely upon the size of the bag.

If you figure that 1 ounce is a serving (http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/19045.html) then the number of servings would be the number of ounces in the bag. So a 16-ounce (1lb) bag would contain 16 servings.

Though, realize that some people will eat more than one serving.

Should corn tortillas be kept in the refrigerator after opening...?

No, it's best to just give a guinea pig fruit and vegetables.

A Mexican tortilla is either made from mainly flour or corn and is a flat type of bread (pan).

A spanish tortilla (Spain) is similar to the American omelette. There are several types of Spanish tortillas depending on what is placed in them, or there is a tortilla de patatas which is like a potato cake made from eggs and potatoes that is seasoned with usually either bacon, vegetables, onion or tuna.

No. Corn starch is a thickener, whereas masa is a fine ground cornmeal used for making tortillas or tamales. It is far too coarse to use as a thickening agent. You can substitute either tapioca starch or rice flour, in a pinch. If you're really desperate, try making a roux (fat, like butter or margarine, melted with flour added until it becomes a thick paste). However, if you're only using it to thicken a soup or stew, you can add some finely diced potato at the beginning of the cooking process. That will release starch during the cooking that should thicken a little, as well.

Well, the main ingredients of a spanish tortilla are obviously the eggs, potatoes, onion and peppers. If you want the recipe you need four eggs, two potatoes, one onion and one pepper.

Yes you can freeze flour tortillas you don't want to freeze them in the store bought bag you want to put them in an air tight container ziploc type.

I am not a food historian, but I have been studying the food and culture of the Texas and the American Southwest and Mexican north. I ask everyone to remember that culture and food have moved freely around this for generations.

I believe that "Tortilla Soup" is a fairly recent incarnation. We have a tradition of topping soups. Some spicy soups are topped with diced raw onion, diced jalepeno, cilantro and lemon juice. Beef and vegtable soup is topped with spanish rice and fresh chili sauce. Homemade Mexican style chicken soup is top with fried tortilla strips, avocado chunks, lime juice and chili salsa.

I believe it was this last combination that was made both at home or enjoyed at local restaurants I believe some enterprising restaurant marketed the chicken soup renaming it "Tortilla Soup" for the fried corn tortilla strips used. The recipe went viral And now tortilla has changed from what was a fresh chicken soup topped with condiment to this special dish using roasted chicken and jars of salsa to make.

The use of items like "roasted supermarket chicken" and "a jar your favorite salsa" lead me to believe that most of these recipes are fairly new because as I recall supermarket roasted chicken and jar salsa where not all that available in most locations 30 years ago.

Although I cant be everywhere, what I have noticed is that I guess I started see "Tortilla Soup on the menu's of Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurants about in the late 1970's early 1980's in my area of Southcentral Texas.
