Notes

  • Any bubbles that you get while frying tortillas can be popped with a fork or tongs while cooking.
  • These would be great topped with lettuce, tomato, sour cream, green onion, avocado and/or olives.  They are also great left as made in the recipe.  However you and your family like them!
  • Taco sauce can be substituted for enchilada sauce
  • Corn tortillas can be substituted for flour if you prefer.  You could skip the frying step by using tostada shells.
