25 Things to Make When You’ve Got Extra Tortillas on Hand

Tortillas are one of the most versatile and affordable ingredients available. And, although they’re perfect for holding all our favorite taco and quesadilla fillings, we’re here to tell you that they’re capable of so much more. That’s why we love to use them in all sorts of recipes, whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert. It doesn’t matter if you’ve just made a batch from scratch (it’s easy with a few tools and pro tips!) or are trying to use up the extras from a bag of store-bought tortillas, they’re the perfect vessel to fill with all your favorite flavors. Wondering where to start? You can’t go wrong with a hearty breakfast in 10 minutes! Eggs and cheese are a timeless combination, but this recipe packs a satisfying punch with the addition of sautéed spinach, savory ham — and a flour tortilla to hold everything together.

Salsa and guacamole fans know there’s nothing better than fresh tortilla chips. Scattered with fine salt, these crispy, homemade chips are the perfect way to use up leftover tortillas. Pair with your favorite dip for a simple yet impressive snack.

Dessert doesn’t typically come to mind when you think about quesadillas, but once you try this recipe, it’ll be top of mind. Filled with chocolate hazelnut and fruit, these delightfully light treats are a quick and easy indulgence that can serve a crowd in just 30 minutes.

When it comes to tacos, everybody wants a bite. That’s why we love this recipe that uses mini corn tortillas to create one giant, sliceable burrito. Stuff it with your favorite taco toppings and when it’s time to serve, just slice individual pieces rather than assembling them all individually.
