22 In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong. - Job 1:21-22

After reading a lady's blog  talking about the correct way to get your soft corn tortillas crispy, I gave it a try. Great tip! She said to heat your oven to 350 degrees and lay the tortillas on the rack for 5-10 minutes to dry them out. Then fry, mashing down with a fork, in a small amount of hot oil to crisp up.

They do puff up.

Drain on paper twirls.

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant

5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Small Mission White Corn Soft Tortillas

Olive Oil for frying

1/2 can of Frito Lay bean dip

1/2 c Rotisserie chicken, diced

3 T Salsa

Add just enough of oil to fry tortillas.

1/4 way up the side would be good.

On medium heat, in a small skillet, fry until crisp.

Add your choice of toppings.

I reserved half of bean dip because I didn't want chicken.

Added a little salsa to bean dip.

Set aside.

Mix bean dip, chicken and salsa.

Set aside.

Spread dip over crispy tortillas, top and eat.

You have to make these, then eat them because they will get soggy.

It's easiest to set toppings on table then prepare tortillas.

These are so refreshing and yummy.

You could hit them with a squeeze of lime too!!
