Cook's notes
- For extra flavor, use a spicy chunky salsa.
- Let the meat mixture cool slightly before rolling tortillas to prevent tearing.
- Substitute flour tortillas with corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
Easy swaps
- Instead of Velveeta cheese, use shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- Instead of ground beef, use ground turkey or shredded pork
