Truth: I love Mexican food. I’m not sure if it’s the main entree or chips and salsa appetizer, but both are amazing. Since I love it so much I’m always looking for new recipes. This is one of those new ones that I found absolutely amazing because 1. it’s so good and 2. it’s so easy. If you’re used to having a regular taco night with your family, give this one a try. And of course, be sure to serve it with some chips and salsa.
Since this is an easy recipe, most of the steps are very straight forward. The trickiest part if folding the tortillas. It’s not hard, but pictures are always helpful!
Once you’ve cooked the ingredients, spoon 1/3 cup of the mixture on to the tortilla.
Then, fold it in half.
Then, fold the other sides up, as if you’re making a little packet or envelope.
Place the tortilla packet seam side down in a baking dish.
