Because it was on sale and I had a coupon
Do you ever shop like this: it was on sale and I had a coupon.
Because corn tortillas were on sale last week...and I had a coupon...I bought the package of 80.
Eighty corn tortillas!!
But really, how could I not, when the package of 80 was $2.99 (and don't forget that I had a coupon), and the package of 40 was something like $2.69.
So I've been cooking new things...with corn tortillas!!
I quizzed a few Cooking Friends for their enchilada recipes.
Finally, I decided to make The Pioneer Woman's White Chicken Enchiladas. Super yummy. Not good for you! But worth it. Give them a try some time, if you're in the mood for a non-traditional chicken enchilada.
Then I made an attempt at the humble Tostada. Note: to cook corn tortillas to a nice wonderful crispyness the oil must be hot, but not too hot. Right! The mystery evaded me, too.
Last night, spur of the moment, I went to the The Pioneer Woman again for her beef enchiladas (AKA Simple, Perfect Enchiladas).
I finally managed to get a few pictures in the process.
Messy!
I tell you what, those cooking bloggers who post pictures of every step in the process either have an in-house photographer or four hands.
Of course, I forgot to get a picture once they were out of the oven. But they were yummy!
And I finally put two dozen of the original 80 in the freezer. This week I'm going to attempt Migas, if I can remember to pick up a dozen eggs, half-and-half and a pound of cheese.
Maybe I should have considered a gym membership in the "cost-savings" of 80 corn torillas, even if they were on sale and I had a coupon.
