1. Breakfast Burritos: A Fast and Filling Start
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially for growing kids. Using a comal, you can whip up breakfast burritos in no time. Simply heat tortillas on the comal, then fill them with scrambled eggs, cheese, and your choice of vegetables or protein. It's a great way to pack in nutrients and start the day with a hearty meal.
2. Quesadillas: A Crowd-Pleasing Lunch or Snack
Quesadillas are a versatile and quick option for lunch or an after-school snack. With a comal, you can achieve the perfect crispy texture on the outside while melting the cheese and warming the fillings inside. Experiment with different ingredients like chicken, beans, spinach, or bell peppers to keep things interesting and nutritious.
3. Grilled Vegetables: A Healthy Side Dish
For a quick and healthy side dish, try grilling vegetables on the comal. Zucchini, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms are all excellent choices. Simply slice the vegetables, toss them with a little olive oil and seasoning, and cook them on the comal until tender. This method enhances the natural flavors and makes it easy to incorporate more veggies into your meals.

5. Grilled Sandwiches: A Simple and Satisfying Meal
When you're pressed for time, grilled sandwiches are a lifesaver. Use the comal to toast the bread and melt the cheese for a delicious, gooey result.
