No, I did not keep them the same size and no I didn’t count out a certain number, sorry but keep in mind I was hungry and my rational thinking was gone by this point! Besides this recipe, if I can even call it that, is so simple that no exact science is needed. After removing the two large size tortillas from the package I then took my pizza cutter and sliced them both up into many small pieces. I had actually heard of someone using regular tortillas to make their traditional version of this dish years ago so I figured why not give it a try. Now, back to my vision of chicken and dumplings that were dancing in my head. It is a favorite here in our house and it also makes a great freezer meal too! Totally, jump over there and check her blog and the Taco Bake out! Five Cheers for Jennifer and her yummy recipes!! Since there were 8 and I would only need 6 of them for that recipe there were two large tortillas that I could play with! BTW, if you have not tried Jennifer’s Taco Bake (THM-S) recipe that I mentioned above, then you are missing out. ![]() I had totally forgotten purchased them just the day before to make the Taco Bake from over at A Home with a Purpose. Just as I was about to give up my hopes of dumplings and surrender to the idea of a egg drop soup with chicken (an soup we eat sometimes) I saw a them! Behold…a package of low carb tortillas laying over on my kitchen counter. After all what is this dish without dumplings right? ![]() However, as I pulled out some chicken stock and shredded chicken and dumped them in a pot to start the process I was still stumped at what to do for the dumplings. So as I started the hunt for something to make the low carb dumplings I had in mind I knew I had a few of the basics in the fridge. No, I am not proud of that, but it is me when I need food. Seriously, not sure who’s “hangry” tantrum would’ve been bigger, mine or his. ![]() I then turned my attention to finding a way to have those dumplings without breaking the carb bank and without taking all day! After all I was hungry NOW and no way did I or my 7 year old (whom I had now wanting dumplings) see ourselves waiting for hours until I could whip some up. Surely, I am not alone in this world.īut alas, I withstood my temptation and we eventually finished our lessons. Yes I will admit, my judgement is sometimes impaired by lack of food. I seriously had a vision of steaming hot chicken and dumplings blinding my teacher vision and making me want to cancel lessons and call declare it a snow day! Never mind that we had no snow at all and it was almost 60 degrees outside. So, as I was teaching our morning lessons the the other day I felt the need for some chicken and dumplings hit me like a ten pound bag of flour! As we continued our lesson on fractions I simply could not get my mind to focus on the task at hand.
