Notes

Healthier Options:
  • For this recipe, we used white tortillas and sour cream. However, you could easily replace these ingredients.
  • We recommend using plain Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream, for best results.
  • We also recommend using whole wheat tortillas instead of white bleached tortillas.
