I used shrimp and red wine vinegar. Unfortunately, I didn't marinate long enough. Still good and easy.
The mixture was tasty, but like others said I will probably skip the tortilla and put it over a salad. Will make again.
This was delicious and so stinking easy! Loved that the roasted veggies were cherry tomatoes and corn - i.e. no prep. I used white wine vinegar in place of sherry vinegar, and we added some extra veggies we had in the fridge to the salad just to fill it out.
YUM!! Didn't realize that sherry cooking wine isn't the same as sherry vinegar. My bad! Had to add honey to aid the sharpness. This was fantastic.
