I am Mexican born and raised. Trained to cook by my grandmother who was a very good cook. <br />Just the list of ingredients in this "recipe" makes me cringe. Wine? Parmesan cheese? Seriously? Anybody who thinks that because something has tortillas in it is Mexican or has something to do with Mexico is the biggest ignorant, fool ever.<br />Please don't pay any attention to this recipe.<br />Is not only not Mexican, but the combination of ingredients is horrible.<br />Pitiful, Food Network. You should be able to do a lot better.<br />
