1. A method of making a Mexican-type food item comprising providing a tortilla, laying the tortilla on a flat surface, positioning a substantially rigid and self-supporting elongate member on the tortilla with a substantial portion of its length projecting beyond an edge of the tortilla a sufficient distance to be hand held, with said elongate member located about one-fourth of the width of the tortilla from one edge thereof, folding inwardly and over and beyond the inner portion of the member positioned on the tortilla, the portion of the tortilla between said member and said one edge, then turning the member and the folded over tortilla portion inwardly toward an edge opposite said one edge over that portion of the tortilla extending beyond the member to secure the member to the tortilla, placing a food filler on the flat portion of the tortilla adjacent the member and the portion of the tortilla wrapped therearound, positioning the remaining flat portion of the tortilla around the food filler with the opposite edge in over-lapping relationship with the wrapped portion, closing off end portions of the tortilla beyond the food filler to enclose the food filler, fastening said opposite edge to an underlying portion of the tortilla, and cooking the fastened tortilla in hot liquid by immersing it in the hot liquid to render the tortilla in a semi-rigid, self-sustaining state.
