Tortilla rose cups

I was trying to fall asleep last night, when an idea came to me. ( If you blog, then you know how that goes)


I have always loved all the felt and paper rose tutorials I have seen online.

like this one that running with glitter made at  Tulsa kids


But what about making roses out of corn tortillas?

So. This morning I decided to have a little kitchen experament while the little man was napping.

I pulled some corn tortillas out of the fridge and followed the felt rose tutorial, but with the tortilla.



I followed my Homemade tortilla chip recipe.  I salted and brushed the tortilla with conola oil.



I used kitchen shears to cut the tortilla.



I folded the tortilla into a rose.  I had to be Very careful to make sure that the the tortilla didn't tear.

 ( Just a thought, that a flour tortilla might be easier to work with)



I baked the tortilla rose in the oven at 350 degrees fairinheit for 21 minutes.  I checked it every 3-5 minutes. 

 When the rose is crispy to your satisfaction, then  it is done. 

After I took my tortilla rose out of the oven, I thought it looked like a cup.  So I put salsa into the rose. 



It was a great little breakfest!

  1. Ack! What a brilliant idea! ALthough, it looks like it would be hard to bite since it is so thick? Is it really hard? Nonetheless, so clever! :)
