This was delicious, lots of flavor and easy to put together. I didn't bother with the tomatoes, lettuce, onions or the olives. Enjoyed the left-overs. A definite repeat. Why do we have to listen to a commercial to submit this review??
10/19/2011 03:11:33 PM Report AbuseI have fixed this recipe 3 times and it is excellent. Be sure and serve it with the suggested sour cream (I used the plain yogurt), cut lettuce and diced tomatoes. The corn tortillas are a must...do not substitute. It's great the next day and the next day!
