I never have leftovers =( LOL!

yummy!

OHHHHHH those sound so good.

thanks!

Sounds very good--thanks for the recipe!

Sounds divine! I'm hungry and just finished up breakfast. :lol:

I use the same ingredients except I put all the stuff in the tortilla and roll it up, top with cheese, onions and sauce and bake ! Yummy!!

Gonna try this one!

I use to do it this way, but decided it was easier and faster to roll the tortilla up with the cheese stick, and then put the rest on top of it. The family still loves it, so if their happy, I'm happy =)

Sounds delicious. How important is it to fry the tortillas? Why not just roll the cheese up without the extra oil and work? Just curious. Does it add a lot to the recipe to fry them?
