Very creative Tony, as usual. How did the tortillas hold up?

thebtls

Actually they held up well, I would probably only use three instead of four next time and I would stir them under better before putting on the cheese because the cheese stuck some of them together. It also tasted REALLY great as a leftover tonight...

Looks pretty tasty to me. Did you drain the meat after browning it?

thebtls

Nope...I use free range beef 95-5 or 85-15 and it frankly just doesn't need draining when cooked medium well. Now my walmart and hyvee gbeef, yes that would have to be drained.
