Notes

Tips:
  • Topping ideas: 1 cup chopped tomato, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeño pepper.
  • Can use corn tortillas instead of whole wheat.
  • Heat cold tortillas to make them easier to fold. Cover tortillas with a moist paper towel and heat for 30 seconds in the microwaves.
  • Use plastic gloves to handle hot peppers. If you don’t have gloves, wash your hands with soap and water before touching your face, cooking utensils or another person.
