I love this recipe! I never tried making pesto before. Avocado is a healthy ingredient fit for this recipe. Thanks so much for sharing! ;-)

Comment on Homemade Baked Tortilla Chips by Dorothy

Something I forgot: I baked my ‘chips’ in a slower oven, for a longer time period: somewhere between 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit—until they are dry and crisp, because I tend to be a kitchen multi-tasker, and might otherwise incinerate them. Rather like making granola or Chex Mix. Another way this Baked Tortilla Chip thing could enhance my life: Tortilla Soup (spicy chicken broth, chicken chunks, mixed beans such as black bean, red bean, pinto—optional garnish of shredded cheese and sour cream) is a favorite around here, and for a large group, frying up crispy ‘strips’ of tortillas is such a pain in the patooty that it is very tempting to just crush a bag of regular chips and be done with it—but that would not be visually appealing. Short, thin tortilla strips, baked, should do fine. They are the last thing to be added, at table or in buffet line. OK: that’s it—I’m done!

You can skip the oil completely, avoiding the ‘which is better?’ question, although some sort of oil would make seasonings stick better. I want to try olive oil, and cracked pepper. I have friends who work in a food bank; whole wheat and whole grain/artisan tortillas sometimes come their way, and they freeze what they can (along with other carbs)…but have to rotate things out as new comes in (just like the stores do). Even economically disadvantaged people can be picky about their tortillas for burritos and wrap sandwiches. Actually, the most popular carb is soft sliced bread. (Eventually, grateful customers at the ‘tail’ end of the food bank food chain speak ‘oink’ and ‘moo.’) The primary difference between a tortilla and crackers is moisture. Cut, Bake, and there you go! I made up three packages like that, bought some hummus, and the chips are now History. The ‘artisan’ tortillas (whole grain, plus black bean bits) are awesome, but so are the plain whole wheat. I have some giant kosher pickle jars that make great see-thru canisters, and my kids are on the ‘see food diet’; they see it, they eat it. I’m going to have to share this concept with the food bank, because so many kids are out of school for summer vacation, and thus not getting free or reduced lunch ’til September. They like crackers well enough! I’d like to mention that many food banks get eggs by the case, and things like oil and detergent by the gallon, so some can use empty egg cartons and clean plastic water bottles, for distribution. Ditto, plastic bags with ties or ziploc type. They welcome the little soaps and shampoos you brought back from vacation, and the toothpastes and floss the dentist gave you for samples. Have a Fab Summer, Ya’ll.

Loved your tacos! I am just obsessed with the idea of healthy food and believe that it can treat and prevent diseases. Person just needs to adjust the menu to meet the demands of the body. Learn to cure the problems described on http://treatit.net/ if you have any.
