Chicken and Flour Tortilla Dumplings

These taste just like the one's your grandmother use to make. They are so thin and perfect. Unless you tell I promise nobody will ever know they are flour tortilla's. If you want to make for a really big crowd, follow the same instructions just use a 6 qt pot and an additional small pack of 8.5 oz shells. Also you can omit the chicken if you want and use canned chicken broth or bouillon cubes.

Flour tortilla dumplings?! I couldn't quite believe it would be so easy. Well, sure enough, they turned out wonderful. Additions I made: I cooked some carrots, onions and celery til softened in a skillet with some bacon grease. I also spiced it up with some rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, etc.

    I loved this recipe — delicious, convenient and flexible — but my dumplings didn't set. They stayed as strips. I used smaller torts, but they were whole wheat, maybe that matters?

    SIMPLY DELICIOUS! These totally rivaled Cracker Barrel's dumplings. This was the easiest and cheapest recipe that has yet to enter my kitchen. I am so happy I have an easy alternative to the "old" way of making dumplings. This is a new favourite at our house!
