This is my new favorite recipe! It is sooo quick and easy (and inexpensive) to make and I have made these several times now. Since my initial try at it, I have left out the green onion the other times, but only because they are not very good right now - after the winter I will probably add them back in. I also found that I preferred them with cheddar instead of Monterey Jack - the Monterey Jack was just a little too bland for me. I like my tortillas crispy, so I switched up to broil for a minute at the end to crisp them up a bit more. These are so yummy and tasty and I just fix them all the time now. I also will never NOT use the Old El Paso tortillas again when making them - I did that once and they were not nearly as good, so I highly recommend sticking totally to the recipe and using the Old El Paso tortillas for these. Excellent recipe, I'll be making these forever now!
