Very tasty
Don - April 16, 2007 02:02:19 PM PSTI altered the recipe to make it healthier and tastier.
reduced Fat cheese is not good for you and tastes nasty. I replace it with real cheese, but used 1/4c instead of 1/2 cup.
the same with reduced fat dressing - used only 1 tablespoon of the real thing....much better.
I also used fresh salsa....18 of 26 found this review helpful.

good but...
dbsj12310 - April 18, 2007 05:39:03 PM PSTmake sure to use room-temperature tortillas (not ones straight from the fridge) or it is too hard to balance them on the foil balls and they take longer to cook.

WHO CARES if its healthy? It tastes GREAT!
Cooking Mom of 3 - April 19, 2007 06:45:05 AM PSTI turned this in to a left over meal. We had left over pork chops so I chopped up the pork chops and used canned pinto beans instead (I didn\'t know if kidney beans would go with pork well) The family ate it up!

Alternative to oven baking tortillas
jsalleoh - September 10, 2007 01:54:20 PM PSTI have been making this similar recipe for about 18 years. Instead of heating up the oven for a few flour tortillas I use a bowl (corning ware preferably but any cereal size bowl will work). Turn it upside down, coat with a little cooking oil spray and lay the tortilla on top. Put in microwave. Set for 2 minutes and turn on but watch tortilla as it cooks for the first time as microwaves have different cooking times. It will eventually begin to brown slightly and become crispy. Note time it takes to cook properly, then set micorwave for same time for the rest. They come out crispy, slightly brown, doesn\'t heat up the kitchen and even when cooking many at a time take less than 2 minutes each. Hope you enjoy!
