    I made this recipe, almost as-is,(I subbed the corn tortillas for flour) tonight & it was SO good! I always follow a recipe that I’m making for the first time, as it’s written (with very few exceptions) and then I make adjustments according to my liking. This one needs nothing added and nothing taken out. I used medium salsa and I used a mix of 50/50 sharp cheddar & Mexican cheeses. So besides the tortilla variety, we loved this meal❤️

It’s a big deal in our bicultural household, especially in 2017, when for the first time my kids won’t be in school on that day. It’s a great excuse to keep celebrating the holidays and trying new, delicious foods. I think it’s the perfect chance for my boys to try sweet empanadas for the first time. I’ll start my new year’s resolutions afterward!” Kristina LaRue, Love & Zest – Vegetarian Tortilla Casserole […]
