Mom said, "Don't play with your food," but I don't recall her saying, "Don't paint on your food." She probably thought it wouldn't come up - little did she know.
According to their Flickr site, The Great Tortilla Conspiracy is an art show that uses tortillas as a canvas to "raise issues related to identity, immigration, miracle tortilla apparitions, the high price of tortillas in Mexico, and the rise of Transgenic Corn".
The tortilla art exhibit runs through April 23th at San Fransisco's SomArts Bay Gallery. It features a tortilla hall of fame with portraits of artists and community leaders on tortillas. What a "corny" honor to be drawn on a tortilla!
Next time I'm out for Mexican food I may have to use my fork and some red and green salsa to start painting. It sounds like fun!
If you could paint something on a tortilla, what would it be?

We used strawberry and apricot preserves to spread on the tortilla first so that the fresh berries wouldn't roll off. The tortillas were just baked with a little butter and cinnamon. The best part about our art project was that the kids could eat them. After decorating the tortillas with berries we cut them in wedges so that they could easily handle them and eat them for snack.
