As a frugal mom, I try to use leftovers in a way that provides good nutrition. This recipe does just that and it’s also a great way for my children to learn to enjoy the flavors of their Mexican heritage. —Aimee Day, Ferndale, Washington

We enjoyed this zingy recipe. I did not cook the tortillas first and only used one cup of broth. We didn't put it on top of rice -- it was fine as a main dish without rice. I'll make this again!

Followed the recipe exactly. Turned out very garlicy and soupy. I think next time we try this we'll cut it down to a clove or two of garlic and 1 c broth.
