Do you have leftover flour tortillas? The really good fresh ones are only good for 24-48 hours. We buy them for taco night from the drive thru at taco cabana. A dozen tortillas is $2. I keep the leftover ones refrigerated until we need them . They are great baked. They are super thick for dips, great for homemade nachos, or good for dipping in soup.
Super easy! Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut the tortillas like a pie into triangles. Using a spray bottle of canola oil, lightly spray the tops. Place them in a raised wire rack over a cookie sheet to crispen both sides. Bake for 5-7 minutes. Flip them over and bake another 5-7 minutes or until they are as cripsy and dark as you want them.
You could salt and spice them also. Just do it after the oil and before baking.
I kind of feel silly writing about something so simple. This is delicious.
Sliced french bread
2-3 cloves minced fresh garlic
3-4 tablespoons butter
basil paste – in the produce section in a tube
shredded parmesan cheese
I put the butter and garlic in a bowl and microwave it for 40 seconds total but stir after every 10 seconds. Allow to set for 2-5 minutes. Sprinkle the butter on sliced french bread. Â Cover each bread with a thin layer of basil paste. Sprinkle with parmesan. Bake at 425 for 5-10 minutes until desired firmness in achieved.
I elevate my bread on a wire rack because I like it super crispy. Â Also, I used to strain the garlic from the butter. My husband likes the garlic pieces so I started just leaving them in. You can do it either way.
I don’t always make fresh bread, but I typically do when I make soups and stews. Tonight we are having beef stew so I started this at 9 am before I left the house to run errands. It took 5 hours in my bread machine. I cannot wait to enjoy it!
The recipe came from geniuskitchen.com
1 1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups bread flour
2Â cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
Add ingredients in the order directed by your bread machine instructions. My machine says to add them in descending order just as listed above. Set to whole wheat setting.
This is the yeast amount the original recipe said. People have posted that it is not enough but it depends on if you want dense bread or fluffy bread. I thought it was great for soup or toasting.
