Notes
It is believed that the existence of traditional tortillas dates back many centuries. It has been a staple food among peoples of Mexico and the American Southwest. For our version, we replaced the non-SCD wrap with lettuce leaves. You can also use our Crepes (see Related Recipes) to wrap the filling.
