Looks mighty good... and, if you want to lower your carbs and calories (and have a bigger potion, hee hee :)), there are some decent low-carb tortillas out there. I make my enchiladas, burritos, and other tortilla-requiring Mexican goodies using the low-carb tortillas made by La Tortilla Factory. Their garlic and herb low-carb tortillas are wonderful and add even more flavor to a dish. I hope you can find them in your neck of the woods; they're worth a try!
