I found this recipe on a blog called Dinner Time Ideas. I got excited because I love anything wrapped in a tortilla. (These uncooked tortillas we get at Costco, are amazing) I thought they would taste bland but I was really surprised when they tasted great! We've had them several times since, it is a new family favorite. I didn't have fresh parsley, I rarely do, but it is just as good without.

mm that sounds yummy. going to have to make it next week!
They're best when they're fresh with a little bit of crunchiness on the tortilla, but they are also quite good for left overs for taking to work.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! This looks really yummy and I just might have to try it this week!
