  1. What size flour tortillas? I know technically you can use any size, but I’d like to know what size the recipe was written for….

  2. 5 stars
    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 Iā€™ll update this if heā€™s not feeling well later, but WOW, it was delicious!

  3. This recipe wonā€™t trigger acid reflux?
    Due the fact of the dairy and peppers?

  4. 5 stars
    Add lime to the sauce for a nice refreshing zing.

  5. 4 stars
    Mine turned out delicious, but a little wet. Iā€™ll probably make about half of the salsa verde, and add jalapeƱos for a kick next time! For the first time making it, it turned out really well!
