@Michele Brosius,
I do not see any nutrition information like calories, fat, etc. on this recipe.
Thanks for pointing that out. I updated the recipe card so it should all be there now. Just a reminder these are courtesy calculations and you should always do you own calculation with the specific ingredients you use. Thanks!
What type of corn tortillas did you use? Mine kept breaking when I tried to put them in the muffin tins.
