The tortilla has come a long way from being just a Mexican dish to a diverse, any-meal type of ingredient that can be used for snacks and even desserts. Check out these amazingly easy recipes that you can make using tortillas, whether it's for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks.

1. Tortilla French Toast. Bring a Mexican twist to the usual French toast by using a tortilla as a crepe. This 10-minute recipe requires egg, milk and vanilla mixture to be put together before adding sugar and cinnamon. Dip each tortilla in the mixture on both sides until fully covered before placing it on a hot griddle. You can even slide in some sliced strawberries, bananas, nuts, or any of your favorite fruits.

2. Mexican Quiche. Here's another breakfast/brunch staple that you can put a Mexican spin on: the quiche. Take a six-inch flour tortilla and heat it about 45 seconds on a skillet (starting it cold). Once hot, place it on a greased 15-ounce casserole and top with 1/4 cup of Monterey Jack cheese. Use the same skillet to cook three ounces of bulk pork sausage and green pepper until cooked. Drain well and spoon it over the tortilla and cheese in casserole. In a bowl, combine one egg, 1/4 cup milk, light cream or half-and-half, and 1/8 teaspoon salt and mix well. Pour the egg mixture into the casserole and top off with cheese before baking in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Serve with salsa and cilantro (optional). For more details, visit Recipe.
