Cooking Tip

Fresh Hot Torillas

Heavy oil in a large cast iron or non-stick skillet. Place torillas one at a time in oil and fry for a few seconds to heat through and lightly brown.

Cooking Tip

Oven Roasted Garlic

Some oven roasted garlic would be a great addition to this recipe. Preheat oven to 350 F. Remove the loose papery skin from the garlic bulb to expose the garlic cloves. Cut the tips of cloves. Roast garlic bulb for about two hour s, or until the cloves are soft. Garlic will squeeze out of bulb.
