Enchiladas really should be made with corn tortillas. With that said, I use flour for burritos and quesadillas, of which you can stuff with a wide variety of yummy stuff.
Love a good breakfast burrito (eggs, cheese, sausage, tater tots, and salsa).

You can make a quick skillet pizza with flour tortillas. Use a tortilla to make a wrap-type sandwich for lunch.

I usually have a package of flour tortillas, in the fridge.
My personal preference for enchiladas are flour tortillas. May not be authentic but, works for us. Tostadas are great and simple. Taco bowls too.
I make wraps with various ingredients. I make skinny taquitos to freeze for snacks.
I often have a warmed, buttered tortilla, instead of bread with a meal.

Hi, yesterday I started working on my Mexican binders. I have quite a lot of recipes calling for flour tortillas (including a lot for enchiladas using all types of meat.) I found a recipe calling for ground chicken, "Chicken Picadillo" wrapped in flour tortillas. If interested, let me know and I will be happy to post the recipe. Or, I take requests if you prefer something else. lol

We make fried strips for chilaquiles. Cut them into triangles to pick up a Mexican chorizo and cheese appetizer.

Flour tortillas are good for burritos. If you deep fry your burritos they become chimichangas.
If you're just trying to get rid of the tortillas, cut them into wedges, drop them into hot oil, and grab a jar of salsa.

Jacques Pepin uses them to make a Pear Tart.

For rustic pizza, toast the flour tortillas at 375° or so until barely brown, then drizzle or spray with olive oil and eat them with a burratta or chunks of mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, arugula, basil leaves, sliced salame or soppressata, etc.

A couple more ideas:
13. Mexican Stromboli - talk about fusion! Place cooked Mexican chorizo, diced onion, minced garlic, browned ground beef, and Qeso Fresco onto flour tortillas. Add chopped peppers if so desired.; Jelly-roll, and bake for 15 minutes in 35-' oven.
14. Seafood Tostada - crisp whole flour tortilla and top with seafood of choice, and accompanying sauce. Examples: butter/garlic sauteed shrimp with pico de gallo, Seared scallops with lemon, ceviche, lump crab with corn, Anaheim peppers, lime, and diced tomato, Skate, or ray with butter, lemon, and parsley, well you get the idea.
