STUFFED TORTILLAS

Stuffed Tortillas image

This takes a bit of time to make but it's worth it. Especially if you're trying to feed a brood! If you're in a hurry, however, you could use store-bought salsa instead of making your own sauce. As a special treat, I also like to take one avocado and blend it with two spoonfuls of yogurt to make a creamy sauce for the tortillas.
