A few days ago I griped about the checker at the grocery store making fun of me for buying 20 boxes of cereal. (Read about that one HERE.) But in my earlier post I didn’t mention the great deal I snatched up right before Super Bowl Sunday.
Tortillas were on sale for 59 cents for a pack of 15 tortillas. You can’t even buy a bean burrito from Taco Bell for that price! There was a limit of 10 per purchase, so you can assume that I being the deal master that I am, I stocked up and bought 10 packages.
A bunch of 20-something guys replenishing their alcoholic beverages were in front of me in the checkout line. They found my stack of tortillas fascinating. After they tired of hitting on the checkout girl, they became completely distracted by my giant pile of tortillas. (Maybe they thought the packaging said “tequila” and not “tortilla?” Hmm…)
These guys were thoroughly amused that anyone would buy that many tortillas in one trip to the store. In turn, it amused me that I went home with a trunk load of groceries for the same price as their tequila.
Even when tortillas aren’t on sale for 59 cents, they’re still pretty cheap, and you can freeze them. Also, if you buy them in low-carb or whole wheat varieties they’re much healthier. Here are 12 things I whipped up as I worked through my stockpile of tortillas.
- Quesadillas
- Eggsadillas for breakfast
- Wraps (Use sandwich meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes)
- Chicken, pork or beef soft tacos
- Homemade tortilla chips
- Cinnamon crisps
- Fajitas
- Enchiladas
- Breakfast burritos
- Mexican casserole (Shred up the tortillas and use them to layer the casserole)
- Bean & cheese burritos
- Monster burritos (filled w/ all of your favorites)
