This was not only delicious, but the presentation is beautiful. I'm filing this one away for dinner guests because it looks so impressive (but is so easy)! Thanks for posting!

I really enjoy this recipe. I've made it twice now. The first time we made sandwiches of it and the second time we made as instructed. Both times were delicious. I used chili powder as I didn't have chipotle powder but it still was very good.
