Wheat tortillas in different shapes and colors
We continue with the basic recipe for wheat tortillas (No. 4), which forms the basis for other classics.
Burritos, with their rich filling, are highlighted here as well as classic chicken fajitas (No. 5), which end up looking exactly like burritos, but are usually served open-faced in Mexican restaurants and with various ingredients for you to fill yourself.
