Notes

Tortilla Texture: I really love the soft bite of flour tortillas here, but if you decide to use corn tortillas, make sure to warm them up slightly in a damp paper towel first to prevent them from splitting as you roll.

Ahead Magic: I find that these are perfect for busy weeknights because you can assemble the whole dish in the morning and just pop it in the oven when you get home.
