This recipe is ok - not very spicy, so if that's what you're looking for, it is fine. I would add more chili powder next time and probably more seasoned salt. I found it to be rather bland. Putting salsa on top helped, though. I'd never fried tortillas before so this was definitely an experience for me! I set the smoke alarm off a couple of times! All in all, not a bad recipe, but not worth a smoky kitchen!
