What a neat recipe! The only thing I did differently was to cook the weiners on the bbq, rather than fry them. I typically do weiners wrapped up in Pillsbury Crescent Rolls when I want to do something different with them, but I decided to try this for lunch today in honour of the Zaar Mexicana Cook-A-Thon and I'm glad I did. They're easy, tasty, and my family woofed them down; my teenage son even asked that I do them again :-) Thanks for sharing!

What a unique quick dinner! I had some leftover pinto beans and two tamales that we had with these. I was thinking of lots of variations lol! Next time I will crumble some cooked bacon inside the tortilla too! Thank you for a fun dinner on a boring Monday evening.

this was a good recipe, and easy to make I did quick fry my tortillas, they were falling apart because they were previously frozen! I used chedder and monteray jack for the cheese my kids liked them and had fum making it with me im just not sure we will ever make it again so thats why I couldnt give 5 stars.. I still like pigs in a blanket better although I think the kids might lean more towards this dish..thanks for the recipe..
