Do You Need a Simple, Hot Side to Fill The Kiddos Up? Tortillas!

Tear or cut  your stale tortillas into bite size pieces, or just a bit smaller.  Melt one or two sticks of butter or margarine in the skillet, on medium.  Add the tortilla pieces, all at once, and turn to coat thoroughly.  Raise the temp to high, and continue stirring periodically, until pieces are coated with butter, and slightly browned, to your satisfaction. 

Serve on the side, along with refried beans, and red rice, for a low key dinner, or with scrambled eggs on the side, for a breakfast, or breakfast for dinner solution.  Use this recipe for a tortilla skillet dish which incorporates the eggs.
