How to Make Cheesy Corn Tortilla Wraps
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cumin. Stir until well combined and a thick batter forms.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place one tortilla in the skillet.
- Spread about 1/4 of the corn mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Top with another tortilla and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the wrap using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the other side is also golden brown.
- Remove the wrap from the skillet and cut it into wedges. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and corn mixture.
- Serve the cheesy corn tortilla wraps warm with salsa on the side for dipping.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your skillet is hot enough before adding the tortillas to achieve that perfect crispiness.
- Feel free to mix in other ingredients like diced peppers, onions, or cooked chicken for added flavor and texture.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook one or two wraps at a time for even cooking.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
- Add fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions to the corn mixture for a fresh flavor boost.
- Serve with guacamole or sour cream for a creamy contrast to the wraps.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh guacamole
- A side salad with lime vinaigrette
