Cheesy Tortillas Recipes

CHEESY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the onion, carrot and celery in the 2 tablespoons olive oil, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until soft.
• Add the garlic, chile powder, oregano, cumin and black pepper. Stir for 3 to 4 minutes, being careful not to burn the dry ingredients. Add more oil if needed.
• Add the chicken stock and salt, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Toast the 2 tortillas over a burner flame until slightly charred. Tear into pieces and place in a blender jar, then ladle in about 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) of the hot soup from the pot. Carefully blend until smooth and return to the soup pot. (See Cook's Note.)
• Add the roasted chicken to the soup and let simmer for 5 more minutes.
• Just before serving, add the lime juice and cilantro. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve topped with lots of chopped avocado, shredded cheese, fried tortilla strips and lime wedges.

CHEESY TORTILLA WRAP

Steps:

• Lay 2 tortillas side-by-side on a grill pan. Scatter over all of the ingredients, then top with remaining tortillas. Cook under a medium grill for 3 mins until slightly crisp and golden. Turn, then cook the other side for 3 mins until the cheese has melted. Cut into wedges to serve. Great with guacamole or salsa.

NACHOS

Steps:

• Tip tortilla chips on to a baking tray, pour over salsa and scatter over a few sliced spring onions.
• Grate over a good chunk of cheese (fontina is perfect, but cheddar will do). Add a pinch of crushed chilli flakes, then put under a hot grill for about 3 minutes to melt the cheese. Serve with soured cream or guacamole (optional).
