***I tried this recipe the other day and it was pretty good!! I made a few changes: I used a 4 oz. can of green chiles, used no peppers (I don't like it too spicy!) and I used flour tortillas instead of corn because I don't like corn tortillas! They are great the day you make it and also as leftovers.
