Grandma's Secret Tip
To heat tortillas quickly without their drying out, stack them on a microwave-safe plate. Invert another plate on top. Microwave for 60 seconds. Check the tortillas halfway through cooking and flip them if necessary.

Fresh tomatoes can be pricey when not in season. Look for Italian tomatoes. They are usually less expensive off season and have a better texture and flavor than the off-season globe variety.
Great Pairings
Black Bean & Corn Salad
You can save money by using olive oil and balsamic vinegar instead of the bottled Italian vinaigrette dressing called for in the recipe. Use 1 part vinegar to 3 parts oil for the best flavor.
