    Back to School Recipes from Mission Flour Tortillas

    I’m totally lazy when it comes to summertime meals, but especially so with breakfast and lunch. I let my two oldest kids make up their own meals from what’s available in the kitchen, and usually can get one of them to make something for their sister, too. But now with the school year approaching, I once again need to put on my chef hat and start making meal plans that include easy, budget-friendly breakfasts and lunches. No more deciding to eat breakfast at 10:00 in the morning!

    This Spark from SocialSpark has info for Table for Five readers about Mission Flour Tortillas, and the many meals and snacks that can be made with them. I don’t know what it is about a tortilla, but somehow, the “same old” turkey, cheese, and lettuce sandwich suddenly tastes brand new if it’s rolled up in a tortilla! Mission Flour Tortillas have 0 grams of Trans Fat (the bad kind) per serving, and no cholesterol. And there are a ton of different ways to use them!

    MissionMenus.com is the place to start for Mission – Back To School recipes using all of Mission’s tortilla varieties. Click “Mission Cookbook”, then search by product or ingredient, or click the drop-down menus to choose a tortilla staple like fajitas or quesadillas, plus a protein.

    You can also get a $.75 cents off coupon by signing up for emails from Mission that include ideas for quick and delicious meals you can make with Mission Flour Tortillas.

    Feedback for Mission: The drop-down menu does not list “eggs” as a protein, so none of the breakfast wrap recipes come up. Also, there is not a single recipe that uses turkey ?!?  The aforementioned turkey, cheese and lettuce, with some mayo or ranch dressing rolled up in a flour tortilla, is one of my kids’ favorites!  Please add some turkey recipes :)

    Here’s some recipes I found that I can see my kids eating:

    • Sunrise Breakfast Burrito – I would buy a bag of already chopped and frozen bell pepper mix to speed this up!
    • Chicken Club Wrap – I doubt I’d get the boys to eat the avocado, but Kaitlyn and I definitely would!
    • Touchdown Tacos – We used to do this when the boys were little, put a hard taco shell inside a soft flour tortilla so the hard shell didn’t crumble to pieces when they bit in. I’d forgotten about that until I saw this recipe!

    Mission Flour Tortillas come in a variety of sizes – small (6″), medium (8″) and large (10″) – in major grocery stores nationwide.

    With so many ways to use them, Mission tortillas should be a staple in every busy Mom’s pantry!
