5 Simple Tortilla Recipes That Make Meals Easier

Every dish in this set starts with the same stack of tortillas and ends up somewhere different: a crisp seasoned snack, two kinds of savory rolls, wraps built around meat skewers, and a grilled flatbread. We cooked and filmed the whole set in a single video, so you can watch the same flatbread change character five times in a row.

The set opens with the simplest recipe, and it pays to start there. Tortilla Bites need nothing beyond cream cheese, bagel seasoning, melted butter, and the tortillas themselves, which makes them the place to begin if this style of cooking is new to you. The Pepperoni Beef Rolls and the Garlic Bread Roll are good weeknight territory. The BBQ kebab wraps and the Lebanese flatbread are best saved for a weekend when the grill is already lit.

Pick by appetite as much as by skill. Small bites suit a table of guests, the rolls feed a family dinner, and the Lebanese flatbread is the one to cook when you want the meal itself to be the occasion.

Start here. With just cream cheese, bagel seasoning, and melted butter on the shopping list, it is the quickest way into the set and the obvious warm-up before the meat dishes.

First of the meat dishes, and the boldest filling in the set: minced beef sharpened with pepperoni and garlic powder. Cook it when the snack-sized bites will not be enough.

This is the one for feeding a group. Meat cooked on skewers, then wrapped in tortillas, turns the same flatbread into a cookout dish rather than a snack.

The comfort pick. It sits between the two showier grill dishes and fills the garlic bread slot on the table, the thing everyone reaches for alongside the mains.

The finale, and the most ambitious cook of the set. Save it for last: once the bites and rolls have taught you how tortillas handle heat, this grilled flatbread is the payoff.
