Absolutely, positively adore this meal. It's a plates-licked-clean and baking-dish-polished-out kind of meal at our house. You could freeze this after you have assembled it, but we recommend just freezing the filling and then assembling it the day you cook it. (Assembling it on cook day will help keep the tortillas from getting soggy - blah!) We hope you enjoy … [Read more...]
