YUMMY!!! I've made this recipe 4 or 5 times now. Loved especially by DH. I added some chopped onion and used whole wheat tortilla wraps. Next I will try it with chicken. This is a recipe you definately want to try.

Five stars for taste and ease of preparation. I made this exactly as directed... except I may have gone a little heavy on the cheese. DH really loved this one, so it will definitely be a repeat at our house.
