This recipe is awesome!!I made it for me and a friend and we both loved it!! She raved about it for weeks and begs me to make it all the time. I didnt use jalapeno's in it because i dont like spicy but I did add more hot sauce for a little bit of a zing. I also used about 12oz of velveeta cheese for a heartier version and instead of corn tortillas I used flour because they baked better....overall this is very very YUMMY!

I am happily married to my best friend and we just bought our first house! No kids but we have 2 little dogs that we think the world of. I was born in California and although I have been on the East Coast for most of my life I am still displaced! I love the beach and hate the cold! In our free time we love to go to the beach or the mountains and hike or intertube down the lazy Shenendoah River. It is so beautiful there! I have loved to cook all of my life and will read cookbooks like they are novels!
