I made the enchilada sauce and the tortillas that I made the corn chips out of. The eggs are from the backyard so those were free.

Nice plating. I don't think I've ever had that before.
Fry up some corn chips and toss them in enchilada sauce. Top with whatever. It's a poverty meal that really hits the spot.
I'll save that for when I finally get this @)(*#! oat flour technique worked out. Mainly just need to find a fine-sifter to get the flour thin enough.
Are oat flour "corn" chips a thing?
When I conducted my first oat wrap experiment a month ago or so, I realised that you could air-fry them up to become impressively crispy and toasty, just like a chip.
Looks like a disaster in those pics, but tasted great, fortunately. Just need to get the flour right next time...
Alt flours are tricksy
Yo, check this out, FP--
Today, I managed to get over to a certain shopping center in the area and picked up some key items from a series of stripmall stores. Couldn't find a fine-flour sifter anywhere, but did find a fine-mesh strainer, and that MIGHT just work. Also, oof... I remembered that back at my apt, I actually had a pretty badass food/grain grinder that I hadn't used for years, i.e.: https://www.ebay.com/itm/236421363304
I'm thinking that sucker should be able to handle whole groats, altho it remains to be seen if a food-processor can get them in to final, usable flour-form. Altho I'm hoping my new strainer will help!
Also, at one of the froo-froo, yuppie groceries around here, I did find some properly-ground oat flour ("Bob's Red Mill"). So, next step will be to see how close that stuff might come to corn as a wrap, tortilla, chip kind of thing...
When I need to make flour or flour consistency out of something I will zip it through my spice grinder and then sift it through a fine mesh strainer. It's important to make sure there is minimal moisture in the material. I'll sometimes heat the source in an oven on low to dry it out before grinding.
I use the grinder and strainer truck for powdered sugar, oat flour, chickpea flour, flax powder and other things that will go rancid in flour form before I can use them if I bought it pree ground.
But I'm usually using no more than a half a cup in cases like that. Not enough to make a stack of oat flour tortillas.
I don't have a proper grain grinder but I do have a crusher. Rarely used but essential when I need it.
LOL... holy hell, that thing looks prototypically grain-crushing indeed. oO
I like your tip about the grain-drying, though. Like-- there's typically all kinds of little steps we can boof up, when overconfident.
Yeah, it's one of those key steps. Not as important if the grain is factory sealed or you live in a desert. But here in The South anything not air tight will soak up water from the air enough to make a fine powder results impossible.
