After whipping these up last week, they made two delicious dinners for me and Kurt.
The first night we ate them in soft flour tortillas, the second night we ate them in crispy shells (per Kurt’s request!) I loved them both ways, but preferred them in the soft tortillas, and of course, he preferred the crispy! Either way, you can’t go wrong!
They can also be served in corn tortillas for a delicious gluten free dinner!
