This recipe was a wonderful surprise! What sounded like an ordinary dish, turned out to be quite good. Vary the flavors with different cheese blends. We used a green chile picante sauce which added a more mellow, smoky flavor. You can use small flour tortillas and make these into appetizers and serve with salsa, guacamole, cheese or other dipping sauces. Could easily substitute shredded chicken or ground turkey for the beef.
