I’m sure you’ve guessed by now that I like my food spicy.  😀  The beauty of this recipe is that it is easy to make in mild form if you like.  I really enjoyed this one, and had two helpings of it.  However, I do need to find a way to make the tortillas crispy, and stay that way through the baking process.  I think it would add a lot to the dish if I could.  Any suggestions on how I can do this?
