Loved it! Oh yes! Perhaps next time I'll use the frying appliance... my pan got a little blackened. Also have to experiment w/the consistency.. maybe use "homemade" breadcrumbs? Any tips? Topped these w/cilantro sauce made in processor w/(50/50) mayo & sour cream and a few fresh jalpeno w/the head of cilantro.
