Nutrition Disclaimer: Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary by ingredients, brands, and portion sizes. Use them as a general guide, not a guarantee.
Storage: This recipe is best enjoyed fresh since the tortillas can get soft if stored too long. If you want to prep ahead, make the filling in advance and store it separately. When you’re ready to eat, heat the filling, then add the tortillas and cheese just before serving for the best texture.
