I made these as described, but I added 2 chopped Serrano peppers (seeds removed) to the meat mixture. This made it a bit spicier without being overwhelming. Also, I used a tad more salsa for moisture (more like 1 cup compared to 3/4 cup)--and I used Medium salsa (any brand will do, but I looked for one with similar ingredients such as red and green peppers). Another hit: use the flavored "wrap-style" tortillas--they are huge, I know--but they are designed for this kind of recipe. I used the Jalapeno Cheese-flavored wraps by Mission Tortillas, and they were so good!
