I used to make this in the 1990's and early 2000's, but I lost the recipe along the way. My husband has been asking me for at least 10 years to make it and I'm so glad I've found it again. I will be making this very soon! -
This is a keeper! May try this with flour tortillas next time to save some time, but quite delicious as is. Thanks for posting!
