  • 1 (4 oz.) can diced green chiles
  • 1 (1 oz.) packet taco seasoning mix
  • 12 (5-6-inch) tortillas corn or flour
  • 1 1/2 c. shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add diced onions to the skillet, cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
