Corn tortillas?!


Question: I'm making an enchilada casserole tomorrow night, and the recipe calls for corn tortilla's, but all I can find are the flour ones. I've been looking in the section in the store where the taco products are... Any suggestions on what else to use? I'm afraid the flour ones will be too mushy.

Thanks!

go to the mexican store. and they're a lot smaller than you probably think they are, about 7 or 8 inches.

Go to your Local Ralphs...they sell the so call Guerrero corn tortillas, cheap too.

im suprized you haven't found corn torittas if they sell flour then they'll most likely be sellin corn try going to a mexican store they'll for sure have them there

Go to a mexican market, or check in the refrigerator section at your store. Flour ones will work, but they aren't quite the same.

Tortilla chips.

You can get tortillas in the section where they keep the mexican food, the cruncy ones are in the taco kits.

I think regular flour tortilla would be fine. I almost think they're pretty much the same texture but has different taste to it though. Corn tortilla is definitely more authentic tasting. Sometimes if you go into the deli isle in your grocery store they would have corn tortilla. Again, like the first person said you would fine corn tortilla under the name Guerrero in pretty much any store.

The flour ones are usually eaiser to cook with and taste better.
I don't think it will get to muchy.
I make enchiladas all the time with flour tortillas.

ask a store worker thats what their there for

well i personally prefer mushy, but if you want flour, maybe you should heat them on a pan on both sides to make it a bit harder to get the taste of flour, with the texture of corn?

you may look in the frozen foods or in the refridge section. it is necessary for enchiladas to be corn . but you can try to do burittos insted. just fil roll and heat . or you can do chimmi changa yumm

Oh, you're looking in the wrong section for corn tortillas, they're always near the bread, the hot dog buns, and hamburger buns.

they're there. ask a store employee.

well if you allready have flower tortillas, then do enchiladas with the flower ones, i'm sure they taste even better, good luck..

I would ask some one at the store where they are. Any large grocer would carry corn tortilla. Some time they have them around the dairy section to. Close to sour cream. They are there. Ask a clerk.

Are you shopping in a grocery store? The tortillas are usually at the end of the bread aisle or very close by. Did you ask an employee? Definitely use corn tortillas as there is no compromising for flavor!!!
God bless!

Try a hispanic food store. Sometimes they carry this item in the refrigerated foods section or the bread aisle at walmart.. Try looking there....

I think your right about the flour tortillas...might be too mushy...

i make two different kinds of casseroles similar to this one. one recipe calls for flour tortillas and the other for corn tortillas. both work out really well. you should be able to use the flour ones if you still can't find the corn tortillas...

any regular grocery store (raley's ,ralphs, safeway, etc.)
will have corn tortillas right next to the flour ones.

I've used flour tortillas in enchilada casserole. My kids didn't like corn ones. They work just fine. Still tastes very good. They hold up just as well as the corn.

I prefer to make my enchiladas with the flour tortillas I am not real fond of the way it tastes with corn tortillas. It will still come out great!
