I have been a fan an addict of Mexican food for as long as I can remember! I can honestly say that my Mexican food choices have not always been the healthiest – I’m talking about you, 1kg cheese on my burrito! But you really can have your taco and eat it too!
This recipe inspiration all started with Honestly Crystal, not only do I get to see her every day at work, she spoils me with delicious treats! These 100% Australian grown and made corn tortillas were the most DELICIOUS tortillas I have EVER eaten! and with 22 tortillas in a packet you are able to enjoy them again, and again and again!
