MexAmerican Foods

I love to experiment with recipes and quality ingredients are a must if I want it turn out the best it can. I really like Mexican inspired dishes and find they are often very vegetarian friendly. I’ve been lucky to have three successes recently thanks to quality ingredients. I’ve centered my recipes around the awesome tortillas from MexAmerica Foods.

I found them very easy to work with. They are so fresh that I was able to use them straight from the refrigerator without having to steam them. That makes them extra convenient. They folded so nicely without tearing, even when I used them as full wraps! You can taste the difference in how fresh they are. It made every meal taste that much better.

First, I used the corn tortillas to make a sort of open-sided lasagna.

6 - small MexAmerica corn tortillas
1 can refried beans
½ onion chopped
½ jar of your favorite salsa
8 oz cheddar cheese

Warm the beans and onions together. Layer six alternating tiers of refried beans with onion and salsa with cheese, ending with salsa and cheese on the top. Bake at 350 until the cheese has melted. The corn flavor is lovely and not overpowered by the salsa at all.

Layered Awesome! 

Next I wanted something to satisfy my sweet tooth, so I made some peach enchiladas.

4 MexAmerica flour tortillas Fajita size
1 small can of peach pie filling
1/3 c margarine
½ c white sugar
½ c brown sugar
½ c water

Place ¼ of the peaches on each tortilla, and wrap, sealing both sides. Place them face down in a casserole dish. Bring the rest of the ingredients to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes while stirring. Pour over wraps and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

These were really unique for me because I have never tried any kind of desert enchiladas before. I loved the crispy tops and if you have leftovers the next day the sauce is much more condensed and they are even better- in fact my husband suggested they only be served cold!

Crispy Sweet! 

I used the bigger tortillas to make a modified quesadilla type meal. These were honey wheat and really something special flavor wise.

4 large honey wheat MexAmerica tortillas
1 can refried beans
½ onion
½ c shredded Colby jack cheese

Warm a frying pan coated with no stick spray over medium high heat. Place ¼ of your beans, onion and cheese in the center of the wrap and fold it in half. Cook until browned on each side. It’s really that easy to make a delicious meal!
