JDaniel loves having flour tortillas for lunch or dinner or breakfast. He really enjoys are variety of bread, but the flour tortilla is favorite.
With many of us starting school or having started school here are six great way to serve a flour tortilla to your children or to enjoy one yourself.
Dyeing and Free Hand Cutting
The tortilla is set in a mixture of food coloring and water. Once it has changed to the desired hue, you can cut out a shape with a knife or cutting tool.
That is just what I did to create the school in the bento snack below.
Cookie Cutter Design
You can to a small cookie cutter to cut a design out of a flour tortilla. Then you can toss it into a frying pan with a little olive oil to brown it. The snowflake cutout tortilla below was sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.
You can fry the small cutouts cut with the cookie cutter and toss them with cinnamon and sugar. Those cutout can be tossed into a fruit salad just as I did in the green bowl below.
You can use a cookie cutter to cut two pieces of flour tortilla and create a sandwich like the heart sandwich below.
Pinwheel Sandwiches
Ham and cheese were rolled up in a flour tortilla. Then the tortilla was cut into small sections.
Cut Shapes
The tortilla can be folded in half after being filled with cheese and meat. The tortilla can then be cut into triangles.
I like the idea of testing them up and sprinkling with some cinnamon & sugar. That would be good to go along with sliced apples. Yum! Maybe we’ll give it a test run this week before we head back to school next week.
Woops…toasting not testing. 😉
Love the tortilla schoolhouse!
Great ideas! I am cutting for sure!!!
Love this idea! I never thought of coloring tortillas!
What a great post and ideas! I have just started using tortilla for my son’s lunch last week. I love your tortilla schoolhouse too, cute!
I love tortilla’s, I use them when I make myself chicken wraps for my work lunch. Mmm tossing them in Cinnamon & sugar, ugho I’m drooling a little! I’m stopping by from SITS, I hope You & your family have a great week.
My Princess loves tortillas too! Her favorite way to eat them is just plain right out of the bag, but I suspect she would love your way too. Maybe a little too much…

My daughter loves tortillas, and I often do shapes for her. But I hadn’t thought of pinrolls. What a great idea! I can’t wait to try it.

Great ideas!! I had not thought about pinwheels. I really needed some great lunch ideas for Brody. Thank you for sharing!
We love tortillas in our house but I never knew that I could do so much with them. The cinnamon and sugar chips sound so good. I think those will be first on my list to try.
This is fabulous – I never knew that about dying them… I know what we will be doing now 🙂
