I would use fresh soft corn tortilla instead of flour.

WoW! I really can't say that loud enough. I almost didn't make this because of the cranberry's but I'm so glad that I did. The flavors really dance on your taste buds. I will be making this again. Two thumbs up for me. Thanks for posting.

What a wonderful and unique recipe. I really enjoyed the subtle sweetness the cranberry sauce added. I made as stated except used fat-free sour cream and 2% cheddar. I did use pinto beans b/c DH doesn't care for black beans. Easy to put together and very tasty. Thanks for submitting.

So nice and unique, like nothing else! Tad too much sweetness for us, I would use less cranberry sauce next time, maybe. And more cheese, I think.

I just adored this recipe! The filling was delicious and the sauce was very unique and flavorful. This is my new favorite "leftover turkey" recipe and the fact that it uses up cranberry sauce too is just a bonus. Can't say enough good things about this recipe. Thank you for sharing, cookiedog. ETA: I made this with cranberry chutney and it was also great! Pictured above with Recipe#319562
