Hi RoastNRave - I believe you can use any size tortilla for this recipe. The larger tortillas would obviously result in a more "bready" dish, but any size will work. Hope this helps! -Editors of RecipeLion

The recipe calls for 12 corn Tortillas, but it doesn't say what size tortillas. They're packaged in different sizes. Are they to be the 6", 7", or 9" tortillas? Inquiring minds want to know! Thanks.
