For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dollop of sour cream or Mexican crema and some fresh cilantro as garnish. To prevent tortillas from tearing, warm them slightly before filling. You can do this by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for a few seconds. Feel free to customize the filling with additional ingredients like diced onions, bell peppers, or black beans.
