The best thing about this cookbook is the recipes for homemade Tortillas. There are multiple ways to fill them, too--but I have to say, unless your tastes are pretty "Californian" rather than Tex-Mex (or just Mex!), you will be puzzled and perhaps not pleased. I'm glad I bought the book, though; we use it once a month or so (more than many other cookbooks!).

This is a great little cookbook. The authors provide interesting tidbits on the origin of their recipes and offer numerous variations on the main recipes. We use this cookbook at least once a week and we have never had a bad meal. We appreciate that the meals are quick, easy, and can make you look like a gourmet

This is a great cookbook for somebody who wants to learn how to make their own salsa! It's also great for putting together menus for entertaining guests. I have loved everything I've made from this cookbook and have bought it as a gift for friends. The well-filled ground beef is a staple in my family's menu now.

We made the Coffee Caramel Tostada Sundae's last night - oh my! I plan to make homemade tortillas this weekend. I have one child that LOVES mexican food, I got this for him and plan to try the quesadillas and salsas too. The pear-lime salsa sounds yummy.

This is a fantastic book with a wide range of new twists on everything from salsas to breakfast tacos. We bought this book when it first came out and loaned it out so many times that is was lost. We had enough of our favorites memozied that we did not repurchase until this week. Now I am finding a whole list of new ideas.

Great instructions on hand making your own corn tortillas, A+ salsa ideas. A must have book....

A great book with simple and quick recipies. No need to run out to the store for soft tortillas. Just whip them up and they are good to go.

great cookbook w/ lots of creative ideas for tortilla based meals. Definitely not for the authentic hispanic cuisine purist as it deviates quite a bit from authentic mexican/south american meals in my experience. There are many delicious ideas none the less. I purchased this w/ a tortilla press and it contains a few recipes for tortilla dough. I am very excited to try some of these recipes in home made tortillas.

I love the recipes in this book! The salsa recipes are exceptional and there are so many variations. I would recommend this book highly. I havent' tried making my own tortilla's but there's even recipes for that.
Only one concern and that is there are no nutritional guidelines or calories per servings listed. Maybe that's for the best:-)

The Well-Filled Tortilla Cookbook is fun to read for sheer entertainment. The notes in the margins and the introductions to the different sections are infomative.

We like the section called "Lamb and Goat" with its helpful recipes for cooking Greek dishes. There are many other international recipes with detailed instructions for preparation.

There are some unique salads and some enticing desserts included also.

I highly recommend this cookbook, which is off the beaten path.

We got a few minutes after this book arrived before the adult kids in the family snatched it up and are passing it around to copy recipes. I guess I have to buy more copies so they each have their own and I get mine back.
