Pretty good! I couldn't find blue corn tortillas, but I found red; I made half red, half white. It tasted like chips and salsa with a Greek twist. It takes a while to fill up the taquitos, I used a chop stick to push the filling to the middle. The filling is enough for 36 tortillas, not 6. Thank you Engrossed.

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
