Both my kids liked this-i used half cheddar cheese and half pepper jack cheese in place of the monteray jack-yum, also I added a bit of cilantro. Very tasty dish-I served it with warm corn bread- Thanks! -
Great quick meal. For more protein (but still vegetarian) I added soy crumbles (I prefer Smartground)! -
Very good and tasty dish. Next time I'll add some ground turkey meat also. Easy and quick!
