Family LOVED this recipe! We topped them off with green pepper Cholula sauce so good.

Jackie ★ 5.0/5

Amazing! Thank you for sharing this recipe. It was straight forward. Took me a bit longer but hoping next time I won’t faff as much. Did it for friends that came over for dinner. I’m all complimented out!

Deanna S ★ 5.0/5

Wow, just wow! These were amazing! We love Mexican food and I am always trying new recipes, but this is definitely my new favorite. The sauce was incredible and everything was so easy to make. We used gluten free tortillas and brushed olive oil on the tops instead of butter and after baking I broiled them for a few minutes to get them nice and golden brown.
I will definitely be making these again.
