I made these for New Years Eve and they were awesome. I altered the ingredients a lil by using a different flavor of jam. Apricot, and maybe a lil extra cayenne, cause the sweet/hot thing is a wonderful combo. I also used cashews since that's our families nut of choice. Sorry it took so long to review, but was thinking back to good things I had tried and this one was a definite winner. Thanks for a great recipe. -
These are so delicious and they are easy to put together. I am taking them to work tomorrow for a pot luck and I know everyone will love them. I followed the recipe except I made the filling last night, kept it refrigerated and then rolled up the tortillas tonight. I did not have the orange peel. You've got to try this recipe. Thanks chef mariajane.
