Cheese And Tortilla Recipes

2 MINUTE CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Place 1 flour tortilla on a large microwave-safe plate; sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Place the second flour tortilla atop the Cheddar layer.
• Cook on high in the microwave until cheese is melted, about 1 minute.

BAKED CHEESE TORTILLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place tortillas on a baking sheet & brush with a bit of olive oil
• Sprinkle 3/4 cup of cheese ( I use part skim milk, low moisture cheese) and 1 chopped green onion on each tortilla.
• Bake for about 10 minutes or until cheese is slightly golden.

CHEESE TACO SHELLS

Steps:

• Drizzle olive oil in a nonstick frying pan and heat over medium heat.
• Place one round piece of cheese into the pan and heat the cheese wrap until it begins to bubble and brown around the edges. It will start to melt immediately, but it will take around 4-5 minutes to get nice and crispy.
• Remove the pan from heat and let the crispy cheese tortilla cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes. As it cools it will harden even more.
• Carefully remove the crispy cheese tortilla from the pan with a spatula and set it on a plate.
• If you are planning on keeping the tortilla flat, leave the tortilla on the plate. If you would like to make a 'hard shell taco' shape, drape the cheese tortilla over the end of a wooden spoon so the sides are hanging on each side of the spoon (upside down).

TORTILLA, BEAN AND CHEESE CASSEROLE ("ENFRIJOLADAS")

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the drained beans and chicken broth in a large bowl.
• In a saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, tomato, chile, and garlic. Saute until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Rub the oregano, between palms of your hands and sprinkle over the beans. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Add the beans and broth to the pan and simmer for 10 minutes. Cool the beans for about 5 minutes before putting them in the blender. Carefully, pour the mixture into a blender and puree. Return the pureed mixture to the pan and gently reheat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
• Using tongs, pass the tortillas 1 by 1 through the refried bean sauce until they are somewhat softened and coated on both sides with the sauce. Set aside on a plate. Fill each tortilla with 1/4 cup of shredded cheese. Fold in half and arrange them, overlapping, in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Top with an additional 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the bean sauce, just enough to cover the beans but allow the edges of the folded tortillas to show. Bake until cheese is melted about 10 to 15 minutes.
• To serve, drizzle with Mexican sour cream lengthwise in a 2-inch thick strip down the center of the dish. Top with 8 overlapping red onion rings.

HAM AND CHEESE BREAKFAST TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Beat together eggs and milk. Heat a lightly oiled skillet (or non-stick pan) over medium high heat and cook egg mixture, stirring occasionally, until firm. When almost done, stir in ham, green onions, salt and pepper.
• Spoon 1/4 of the egg mixture on top of each tortilla. Sprinkle the eggs with cheese, fold over the tortilla to make a roll and top with salsa if desired.

CHEESY TORTILLA WRAP

Steps:

• Lay 2 tortillas side-by-side on a grill pan. Scatter over all of the ingredients, then top with remaining tortillas. Cook under a medium grill for 3 mins until slightly crisp and golden. Turn, then cook the other side for 3 mins until the cheese has melted. Cut into wedges to serve. Great with guacamole or salsa.

CINNAMON TORTILLA WITH CREAM CHEESE & STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Combine sugar substitute and cinnamon in cup; mix well. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Lightly spray one side of tortilla with cooking spray; sprinkle with cinnamon mixture.
• Place tortilla, cinnamon side down, in hot skillet. Cook 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from skillet.
• Spread uncooked side of tortilla with cream cheese; arrange strawberries down center of tortilla. Roll up tortilla, or fold, to serve.
• Tip: Prepare recipe through step 3. Mash a few of the strawberry slices with a fork until almost smooth; stir into cream cheese. Proceed as directed in step 4.

QUICK TORTILLA-STRING CHEESE SNACK

Steps:

• Spread tortilla with jam; top with cheese. Roll up.
• Place, seam-side down, on microwaveable plate.
• Microwave on HIGH 15 sec. or just until warmed.

SCRAMBLED EGGS, CHEESE, AND AVOCADO TORTILLA BOWL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press tortilla into a tortilla shell mold or oven-proof bowl.
• Whisk eggs, milk, and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in Mexican cheese blend.
• Bake tortilla in the preheated oven until crispy and brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Cool slightly before transferring from mold to serving dish, about 2 minutes.
• Cook egg mixture in the microwave until set, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove egg mixture from the microwave and stir gently with a fork. Cook in the microwave until fully set, about 30 seconds more.
• Place cooked eggs in tortilla bowl; top with avocado, salsa, paprika, and salt.
