Lemon Blackberry Tortilla French Toast image

I've never had tortilla French toast before, but I'm definitely a fan now. It's so much lighter and fluffier than regular French toast.

The lemon blackberry sauce was delicious, but the tortilla French toast was a bit dry. I think I'll try it again with regular bread next time.
