You can add anything to these you like. Fruits, other meats, the possibilities are endless. Adding cheese to the mix would be great. Unfortunately, I am dairy free until my son has weaned.I didn't include a tortilla recipe because they are so easy. Flour, oil, salt, baking soda and warm water. That's it. Amy -
