I had lots of flour tortillas in the freezer and this was a good way to use them up. Crispy and tasty, with lots and lots of gooey cheese. The sauce was tasty, but not as fresh-tasting as I am used to from using salsa.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
