Quote of the DAY
Have a blessing day!
These were OUTSTANDING!! My husband is on an acid reducer diet and we both absolutely loved them. We were both questioning whether this recipe would trigger his acid reflux, but we gave it a shot anyway since it was on a list. Guess I’ll update this if he’s not feeling well later, but WOW, it was delicious!
Thank you so much, Rebecca! I am so happy you and your husband love this recipe. Thank you for an awesome recipe review!
My husband didn’t have a reaction at all! Yay! We’ll probably put this one on the regular rotation. Thanks!
This recipe won’t trigger acid reflux?
Due the fact of the dairy and peppers?
Add lime to the sauce for a nice refreshing zing.
Mine turned out delicious, but a little wet. I’ll probably make about half of the salsa verde, and add jalapeños for a kick next time! For the first time making it, it turned out really well!
Can you make this recipe ahead?
Hi Ashley, yes you can make it one day ahead. Hope this helps, happy cooking!
Have you ever made them with corn tortillas?
No I haven’t, if you make them with corn tortillas please let me know if you liked it!
