This post starts with a happy accident.
I love to make french toast in the mornings for kiddo. It's easy, no measuring....eggs, a little milk, sprinkle of sugar, dash of vanilla....whisk it all up...bread, pan, BAM!...french toast.
Well, a few weeks ago, I whisked up the eggs, milk, etc. and realized....I was OUT.OF. BREAD.
What's a girl to do? In Texas, you might run out of bread, but you always have tortillas. So, "frenched" tortillas were born and they are now a staple in our house.
Let me tell you how to make them. Prepare....you are about to achieve domestic goddess status in 5 minutes.
OK....I like the start with these "ready-to-cook" tortillas. But, these may be just a Texas thing. (They're in the refrigerated section at HEB, y'all.) So, start with flour tortillas. (If they are the ready-to-cook kind, cook them.)
Whisk up 2 eggs, about 1/2 cup milk, a TBSP or so of sugar (or cinnamon-sugar), and a dash of vanilla. (Eyeball it.)
Heat up a pan and add a pat of butter.....I like salted, but whatever you have.
Dip both sides of the tortilla in the egg mixture; let the excess drip off. Cook briefly in the pan; flip and cook the other side (but you knew that).
Once cooked, add a spoonful (1-2 TBSP) of Nutella down the middle of each tortilla. Roll.
{Don't you want to dive right in?}
Dust with powdered sugar. If you're feeling fancy (and you probably are), heat up a bit of Nutella in the microwave. Drizzle over the tortillas.
SOMEDAY, when kiddo goes off to college, he will come home for *THESE*.
Whoa~Baby!
ReplyDeleteYummmmm~ola!
Look at you FANCY~Pants!
Or shall I call you BRIDGET the GODDESS~ ;o)
You're so GOOD!
I know Mr. E and Kiddo just stand back in amazement!
Strawberries here in WASHINGTON don't look that good!
I miss the STRAWBERRIES in The South.
And YOU KNOW I just adore that vintage glass...and that gingham!
Just like I ADORE you!
Hugs...and HAPPY day my FRIEND! xo
Wow, talk about fusion?!? What a great tasting accident:) I'll definitely have to try this!
ReplyDeleteGenius. Period. Plus, love how you bait the future college kiddo with more than laundry.
ReplyDeleteThis is genius! :o) I cannot wait to make this!!!
ReplyDeleteSinfully simple and delicious! For a snack I've put nutella on a tortilla before, so I can only imagine how good they are "frenched"!
ReplyDeleteThis is why I worked out for 2 hours today for right? sigh.. lol
ReplyDeleteErika
Definitely a good accident!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!! ..... have you tried crepes with nutella???? ..................................
ReplyDeleteBridget, You are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI adore nutella! YUM!
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower.....saw the post for these yummy tortillas over at Tatertots and Jello's facebook page! I can't wait to try these....they look complete delish. Thank you for sharing and can't wait to see what other wonderful dishes and ideas you have.
ReplyDeleteJohanna @ Hugges and Kisses xo
Incredible! I'm definitely going to make these.
ReplyDeleteB!!! You are so smart!!!! I learned TWO things today! I didn't know.they made ready to cook tortillas.nor did.I.know you could.French toast them! I love you!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. I want these, NOW! And I am going to have to check our grocery stores now to see if the ready to cook tortillas are a local Texas thing or if I can find them in the Midwest. That would be fantastic! Great breakfast innovation!
ReplyDeleteThis is "Freaking French Fabulous-ness" (and a little early morning alliteration!)
ReplyDeletehungry.

I CANNOT wait to try these. YUM! I forwarded this on to my husband and I told him I want these for breakfast---all weekend long! :)
ReplyDeletewowza - what a great idea! I would have never thought to do "frenched" tortillas
ReplyDeleteYum! Now I'm hungry...
ReplyDeleteI had a two-pack of Nutella in my hand at Costco yesterday but I thought, "naah. If I buy it I'll eat the whole thing." So I put the Nutella back. If only I'd known I could have made a great breakfast with it!
ReplyDeleteGuess I'll pick some up today at HEB along with my tortillas.
I've been thinking of giving the munchkin nutella but didn't know how. This is a GREAT idea!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your line *...Kiddo will come home for THESE* and I'm betting he brings a load of his college buddies with him.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea that Ferrero Corp would love to see!
YUMMO
ReplyDeleteWe are ALL ABOUT THE NUTELLA over here.
And next time you need bread? Try the neighbor next door neighbor (not me, the other one. I'm always out of everything :)
I can't tell you how many of these I've eaten over the years.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, my hips will probably give you a fairly good estimate!
Delicious! Never made them with nutella before...will try them for sure!
ReplyDeleteI live in Oregon and we too have the ready to cook tortillas (not just a Texas thing :) ). I love them and we often cook them up with cinnamon and sugar. I do the same with left over eggroll wrappers...cinnamon and sugar and then deep fried.
Thanks for your scrumptious tip!
I am so impressed with you improvisation! They look so yummy!
ReplyDeleteyou are a genius! but i gotta say that i like the ready to cook tortillas sold at wal mart better. (even though i despise going into that store i do it for the tortillas)
ReplyDeleteBRILLIANT! Can't wait to try these :)
ReplyDeleteYum, what a great 'accident'!
ReplyDeleteJust as I was struggling with what I was going to make for breakfast tomorrow, you come out with this superman of an idea! But I have bread and I am going to use that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the share.
These look so classy and fun, great idea, I love Nutella!!
ReplyDeleteA happy accident, indeed! These look AMAZING, Bridget :)
ReplyDeletewhat a perfect idea! they remind me a bit of crepes! and anything with nutella is delicous (ok maybe not broccoli and nutella, but you know what i mean!)
ReplyDeletei'm going to try these out on my boyfriend, thanks for a great idea!
Don't you love how Nutella (on the packaging) talks about how it is a part of a "balanced breakfast"? It always makes me feel better when I dive right in! I love adding more balance to my life. Your Frenche Tortillas are a good addition to my Nutella addiction.
ReplyDeleteYum!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to try this! My kids gonna love you. :)
ReplyDeleteOh what a seriously happy accident!
ReplyDeleteI am SOOO making these tomorrow!!...so much easier than making crepes!!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to try this! We love crepes. I hate making crepes. I am not good at making crepes. I have a crepe pan that I did not ask for! These look like they'll solve all those problems!
ReplyDeleteLooks good! Kinda like quickie crepes!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh!! This looks delish and we cannot wait to try it! I'm in So. Cal, and we always have tortillas in our fridge, too! thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteYUM !!!

ReplyDeleteOMG Bridget, how did I miss these yesterday, and how did I never think of nutella and tortillas together! Go ahead, rub my face in your HEB-having ways. Ready to cook tortillas? I die! I think I'll try these with the tortillas I'm planning to make this weekend. Same idea right? Sunday breakfast, DONE! Beautiful photos too, B.

Just GENIUS! This is the fastest version of crepes I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
Oh Lordy, these look dangerously yummy..... And I love the HEB shout out, I feel like your neighbor... :)
ReplyDeleteoh my!!!! I am sooo going to try that! We LOVE the HEB tortillas! they were out of them recently and I about cried!
ReplyDeleteI make a bunch of crepes at a time and keep them in the freezer. Thaw them out, heat, spread with a little (or a lot) of Nutella and it's a great snack, dessert or breakfast.
ReplyDeleteOh my word, these look SO good! Brilliant way to improvise - and I love the TX references in your blog : )

ReplyDeleteI look everywhere for the ready to bake tortillas and have only ever found them at Costco (briefly) outside Seattle. I spent my teen years in Texas! So many fond memories of H-E-B runs!

ReplyDeletewow... those look super yummy!
ReplyDeleteYum- they're like speedy crepes! I would have totally looked forward to coming home from college for these!
ReplyDeleteI made these tonight and put fresh sliced strawberries in one and sliced banana in another and topped them both with homemade whipped cream. Yum!
ReplyDeleteYesterday (for dinner actually lol) I was in the mood for syrup, moments before making french toast I remembered these bad boys. You should have seen me trying to dip the tortilla in the batter! My mom thought I was crazy! Anyway, I'm not sure if I'd like the mix of Nutella and syrup, so I spread it with peanut butter instead. YUM!!! It's a little messier with syrup but totally worth it!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll make these for my daughter soon.
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I'll be making these as soon as possible. I think this looks like a DIVINE accident. I'll be adding your site to my google reader after seeing this!! :-)
ReplyDeleteNutella and strawberries.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
I tried today and is heavenly!
Best idea ever.
ReplyDeleteAnd ready to cook tortillas? I am going to have to keep an eye out for those!!
I am addicted to Nutella!
ReplyDeleteIt is heaven on toast in the morning. Well, it's heaven on anything really.
I love the idea that you used what you had on hand. oh and nutella....SWOON!
ReplyDeleteOh yum. I am so making these as soon as I get more eggs.
ReplyDeleteYum! Yum! Yum! We don’t buy nutella because it somehow disappears so fast in our house. These look amazingly good, how creative of you!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try these! got my ingredients, just waiting for the weekend. :) thanks for recipe!
ReplyDeleteWe just had these as "breakfast for dinner"--were GREAT! One was VERY filling, but more like a dessert than a meal. Nice treat from the usual. Thanks for sharing.
