I have made this twice now as it’s popular among the kids and easy to put together. The first time I followed the recipe exactly. It’s also easy to make with rotisserie chicken.

I added mushroom which was great. I think next time I’ll make it in the oven instead of the pan so I don’t make mess when flipping the tortilla!
