Notes
- These don't need any toppings but you could top them with cilantro, avocado slices, extra sour cream or dressing, or sliced jalapenos.
- Control the heat level by choosing your buffalo sauce and enchilada sauce accordingly. Most brands of buffalo sauce have multiple heat levels available. And enchilada sauce is normally available in mild, medium, or spicy.
- Make sure to use flour tortillas and not corn tortillas. Most corn tortillas don't come in fajita size and corn tortillas are harder to roll than flour tortillas.
- To soften your tortillas before rolling you can put them on a plate covered with a damp paper towel and microwave them for between 15 and 30 seconds.
