Cooking Tips
🫓 Tortillas
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side for pliable results.
- Corn tortillas are more traditional; flour tortillas are softer and larger.
- Wrap tortillas in a damp towel and microwave for 30 seconds to steam them.
Nutrition: Corn tortillas are lower calorie and gluten-free. One flour tortilla has about 150 calories.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 1 week. Freeze for up to 3 months.
🫘 Beans
- Soak dried beans overnight to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility.
- Don't add salt until the last 10 minutes — it can toughen the skins.
- Canned beans are perfectly fine — rinse them to reduce sodium by 40%.
Nutrition: High in fiber, plant protein, iron, and folate. One cup cooked has about 15g protein.
Storage: Dried beans last 1-2 years. Cooked beans keep 3-5 days refrigerated.
