Notes
- These were amazing and my kids LOVED them! I just did “chicken fajitas”. Took the advice of others…brushed egg around the whole tortilla. Sprayed a baking sheet with cooking spray. Cooked for 15 min at 400 degrees (watched the color of the tortillas). They came out PERFECT. You can do any filling in these and probably freeze them. Can’t wait to make more!
