Frankfurters, tortillas pleasing to food budget When the ancient Mexicans in vented round, flat, unleavened bread called tortillas, they gave us what ii undoubtedly the most ver- latile bread of all. A corn or flour-based bread, tor tillas can be stacked, rolled, folded, torn, cut and crumbled; and taste good hot and soft, criiply fried, or toaited. Tortillas' also can be a handy substitute for an eating utensil when used as a scoop, or they can even replace a plate laid in the palm of the hand and filled with food. If your experiences with Mexican tortillas have been limited to tacos and enchiladas read on. The festive atmosphere and special flavors associated with tortillas and other foods from our neighbors south-of- the-border are captured in a recipe that combines the special talents of the tortillas with those of that age- old, north-of-the-border favorite -- hot dogs. As versatile a| tortillas, hot dogs can be simmered, broiled, grilled, fried, stuffed, battered, fondued or cooked in a casserole. The ethnic appeal of hot dogs, of course, knows no limits. They are equally at home in the taco-style "Southwestern Fiesta Franks," (you will find that taco shells pro vide a close to "custom fit" for your franks), a stir-fry style "Chinatown Choice," perfectly seasoned "Italian Herb Dogs" and the hearty "Ger- mantown Franks."
