Storage

How to Serve

A white oval baking dish holds eight rolled tortillas filled with a reddish-orange sauce and shredded cheese, sprinkled lightly with green herbs on top. The tortillas are evenly aligned side by side, each showing slightly roughed and soft textures with some cheese strings visible. In the front, a woman's hand lifts one rolled tortilla showing the sauce and melted cheese inside, while a dark-handled spatula rests on the side of the dish with melted cheese draped over it. Behind the dish, there is another similar baking dish filled with more rolled tortillas, all sitting on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
