2/3 cup quick cooking couscous

1/4 cup sliced green onions

Wrap the tortillas in foil. Heat in a 350ºF oven for 10 minutes to soften. (Or

seconds.)

 

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the broth, green chile peppers,

tortilla just below the center. Top with 2 tablespoons of cheese. Roll up the

tortilla. If desired, serve with salsa.
