Recipe Notes

*Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce: Can sometimes be hard to find and are usually found in the isle with the taco shells and salsas.

*Spiciness level:  1-2 peppers depending on how spicy you like it.  I'm not a huge fan of spicy and one pepper  is plenty fo me.

*Tortillas:  My favorite grain- free tortillas are from Siete Foods.
