i have made this recipe MULTIPLE times for cinco de mayo and it is ALWAYS a hit. other kinds of cheese work just fine - and btw you can make twice as many as the recipe says.

These are very good. They come together very quickly and easily. I followed all the ingredients. Made for AZ/NZ swap.

These were good with the minced onion and extra garnishes, such as the sour cream. We served these with hot salsa as well. Made an easy meal! Thanks for sharing. ~Sue
