Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
These are just so, so good! Truly an excellent recipe.
I recommend putting the sauce on the tortilla first-- a super thin layer covering the entire tortilla so that you get the mild kick of the sauce in each bite.
To warm the tortillas, lay one on a plate, cover with a damp paper towel, and continue to layer tortilla, towel, tortilla towel, and microwave about 25 seconds.
Just a great meal-- fabulous for casual entertaining.
