Reviews
Should have included 2 hours of prep time in the recipe as well as what kind of tortilla to use (flour or corn). I’m making them for Christmas Dinner and using flour tortillas. Got all my prep done done and waiting on the salsa to cook them. Looks great and smeels great hope this is the best dish I could have made for our fiesta Christmas.
I used small shrimp in place of the scallops and lobster, made 8 fresh (roughly) 6″flour tortillas with lemon and fresh cilantro for flavoring in them, I deleted the mushrooms and increased the garlic to double. I also used Pepper/Jack cheese in place of the straight Jack cheese.
I have used it four times twice with the salsa per the recipe and twice with a citus/sourcream sauce for topping them.
Fantastic BOTH ways !!!!!!
