This was just one of those things I whipped up - and while not necessarily the most "healthy" it was filling, delicious and a little went a looooong way! Of course, can be made healthier with ground turkey and/or chicken! Cheese could be fat free - but I used what I had on hand and it was delish.The tortilla's didn't give me an option, but they were 6 x 6" tortillas at only 100 calories a pop.
