Old El Paso Flour Tortillas

My fiancée is a big fan of Mexican, so tortillas are a frequent dish in our house. She usually does them with spicy chicken, peppers and onions. But every so often I find tortillas in my packed lunch, with left over chicken or ham and cheese in. Tortillas are great as a truly versatile food, and a lot less heavy (and lower in calories and carbohydrates) than bread. I've used tortillas before to make Mexican enchiladas, wraps, sandwiches, cut them up and put seasoning on them and made wedge crisps from them, or torn them up and used them as a topping for stews and bakes.

Old El Paso Flour Tortillas were designed to aid people in the making of Mexican foodstuffs such as Fajitas, Burritos and Enchiladas. Little do Old El Paso know though, that they have provided at least one customer who has found a use for these flour tortillas for just about anything. I eat these things all the time and although these are absolutely perfect for Mexican food, I regularly find myself holding a wrap of simple chicken and mayonnaise, or even just eating one by itself if I'm peckish. They are perfect if you want a sandwhich but with a bit of a twist. Packaging wise these are also very interesting, with the traditional Old El Paso yellow colouring ...  Read the complete review
