Corn tortillas are a completely versatile ingredient you should always have. You can use them for so many dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and they will last a long time in your fridge even after you have opened them. They are naturally gluten-free and almost always vegan, so really everyone can eat them!

If you need some creative things to do with corn tortillas, here are some fun recipes.

Breakfast Tacos

Although it seems like an indulgent way to start the morning, corn tortillas are actually really low in calories as opposed to bread or even flour tortillas. All you have to do is cook up some eggs, put them in the corn tortillas with avocados, tomatoes, or whatever veggies you have on hand, and cover it in salsa and hot sauce!

Homemade Chips

A great recipe to make with friends or kids is homemade tortilla chips! All you have to do is cut the tortillas into triangles and put them on a baking sheet and lightly drizzle them in olive oil. Then, sprinkle over salt and whatever other seasonings you like — such as cumin, paprika, or chili powder — and bake in the oven for a few minutes until they are crispy!
