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

this was wonderful although the sauce was not spicy enough for us so I added in 2 teaspoons crushed chili flakes and increase the garlic to 2 tablespoons and also increased the cumin amount, this is a great vegetarian meal, thanks for sharing hon!

We loved these! I added a little sugar to the sauce, we like sweet sauces. The monterey jack cheese is really tasty in this. Next time I'd like to try already roasted chicken from the market in these. So easy and great tasting! Thank you.
