I liked the flavors of this tortilla but the flour tortillas were very hard. I will crisp them in oil first next time and then bake for a shorter time.

Mexican Potato & Chorizo Tortilla, OH my this was tasty Better than I fantacized it to be! How many times has that happened in your life?? I digress, if you like chorizo, try it, you’ll LOVE it! used both flour (as Emeril suggests) and corn tortillas Pick your favorite, they are both wonderful! You can use large (4) 12 or (8) 6 tortillas used a combination of both sizes This recipes was written using (4) 12-14 tortillas used my pizza stone and the results were outstanding We had this for dinner along with salad, guacamole and chips It would make a great appetizer as well Recipe inspired by Emeril Lagasse, he uses the grill for part of this recipe, I did the whole thing in the oven I am writing the oven friendly version , I liked the flavors of this tortilla but the flour tortillas were very hard I will crisp them in oil first next time and then bake for a shorter time , Yum! My whole family loves this recipe I did make some changes: no onions (kids don’t like) instead of monterey jack used Kraft Natural Mexican Style Authentic Shredded Cheese so good! use taco sauce instead of salsa personel preference no yellow pepper used taco size white corn tortillas they came out nice and crispy
