    These were delicious and easy to prepare! I served them over a bed of shredded lettuce with rice and black beans as a side dish. We also like to top them with sour cream and salsa. A great recipe to keep.

    Definitely going to make this again! I triple the recipe and it fed all seven of us. My kids love you so much there was no leftovers
