I doubled this recipe to feed 10 people and they loved it. Doubled amount of chipotle chili powder to add more spice and heat, and added poached shredded chicken breast. Made with homemade tortillas and fruit salad.08/27/10

These were quite delicious. I substituted whole wheat tortillas and added some ground beef and chopped avocado. We also omitted the sour cream, simply because we didn't have any. I would definitely make them again.08/23/10
