Here's what you need to do...take out each tortila,splash a little water (lightly) all over each side & add it to either a damp tea towel or what I lke to use is a damp paper towel (roughly 6 sheets & fold in half)when the tortillas are all slightly wet place in the middle of the fold & heat in a micowave for roughly 45 sec to a min.Make sure u place them all on a plate before microwaving.Enjoy..

Ok, well I spent all day cooking and this was one of the more tastier fillings I've had. But I gotta tell ya, all of my tortillas cracked open in the freezer. I don't know what everybody else did that I didn't because the reviews are pretty good. I tore all of the tortillas off and just froze the meat in rolls. I'll put them in the tortillas when I make them. Great filling!!

This is a great recipe! Although I did use a pork roast, since a beef one was the price of an arm, a leg and my first born. I did add about 1 T fresh cilantro to the mixture as well as about 1/2 cup green salsa. I also ran my tortilla through hot oil to soften them up, I didn't have any problems with the tortillas breaking apart. I went ahead and fried them up before I froze them, since I wanted my son to be able to microwave them when he needed a snack. I wasn't sure how well they would microwave, but I was surprized that they did not turn out soggy. I microwaved them on high for 1 minute 30 seconds wrapped in a paper towel. I also warmed another batch up in the oven. Turn out great also, not as crispy as freshly fried, but still pretty crisp. Heated 350 for about 10 minutes. I will never buy the ones from the grocery store again, I have now officially been spoiled. Thanks for the great recipe!!

I am re-reviewing this with 5-stars this time!!! This time, instead of trying to warm them in the microwave (which didn't work for me the first time I made these), I dipped the tortillas in hot oil to soften them before adding the filling and rolling. It made ALOT of difference....so much easier to roll since they did not fall apart on me! I also omitted the salsa and added some of the meat juices from the crock pot to moisten the meat mixture. This was excellent! Next time, I'm going to make a larger roast to have meat leftover for tacos and such! Thank you!
