If I found a tortilla that had a mark that looked like Lincoln, I'd say "Hey check this out, it looks like Lincoln!", and then eat it. Or maybe sell it on Ebay. But I wouldn't consider it a miracle.
Actually, for many of those 'look at the Virgin Mary in a french fry', and even the statues and paintings that cry, the Catholic Church makes no official acknowledgement of them. With saints, they look more to things like miraculous healings.
