Tips:

  • Use high-quality tortillas. Fresh, soft tortillas will make the best casserole. If you can, try to find tortillas made with masa harina, a type of corn flour that gives tortillas their authentic flavor and texture.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas. When you're filling the tortillas, be careful not to overstuff them. Too much filling will make the tortillas difficult to roll and will make the casserole mushy.
  • Use a variety of fillings. The beauty of this casserole is that you can use any type of filling you like. Try using a combination of meats, vegetables, and cheeses to create a unique and flavorful dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to making this casserole. Try using different types of tortillas, fillings, and sauces. You're sure to find a combination that you love.
