    Was a gooey practically inedible mess that required a big clean up. Won’t make again.

    This was great! A little time consuming, I did put a few tortillas in at a time and just watched them.

    Made this for the first time last night, with impossible meat (instead of actual meat) and a bee like smart oven on the air fryer setting. All four of us declared it a hit! Will definitely make this again
