1. As another reviewer mentioned this is really runny and does not stay in the middle of the tortilla. 2. Do not use cheap tortillas! I sent someone else shopping and should have known that I would not get what I wanted. 3. This being said, my tortillas ripped every time and because the mixture was so runny it just ended up everywhere. Also I cut this recipe in half and still had a ton of mixture leftover (did not want to deal with it either). But in the end after being fried they turned out awkward but ended up tasting great but with unfortunately a very thick tortilla "layer" so we drizzled them with the extra mixture. So I will keep this recipe on hand for when I decide to deep fry stuff as it worked out well in the end :D

What a tasty dessert! My husband said it was a keeper. I couldn't find in the directions where you add the flour so I just added it in with the cheese mix. It must have been right. I'll definately make this again.
