Blintzes are similar to crepes, in that they are basically filled crepes, but differ in that they contain yeast whereas traditional French crepes do not.
Favorite offerings range from the saute of smoked poblano chiles and Niman Ranch beef strips on white corn tortillas with two eggs and pinto beans (el presidente), to pan-fried trout to pancakes, or cheese blintzes, fruit or hot cereal.
Almost every culture has its own version, from Mexican tortillas to eastern European blintzes.
