No offence taken..lol...I usally sign my name and "from Canada" but
didn't this time. We're in SW Ontario about 75 miles from Detroit. We have
all kinds of tortillas here as well as other ethnic breads etc. I've just
never been very adventurous, being a meat and potatoes kind of cook. The
nachos turned out good...fried a lb. of ground beef and added taco
seasonings, layered with refried beans, cheese, chips, salsa, topped with
chopped tomatoes, green onion and sour cream. I cooked up a couple of fresh
corn on the cob to go with it and it made it a filling meal for two old
folks. It was a hit with hubby. I have some tortillas in the freezer that
were left over last week when I made burritos, so will likely do quesadillas
again soon. ..........Sharon from Canada
