Great recipe! i have had these in my cookbook for awhile now and I finally got around to trying them. Your picture makes the pies look round but my pies turned out retangular (2 triangles for the bottom and 2 for the top), but they tasted delicious. Thanks for posting!

We had these for dinner tonight. AWESOME Julia. To make things quicker, I bought a bag of the Tyson Fajita Chicken Strips to make mine. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe. Marla
