This was sooo good! I will use the filling for dips. To please my need to add garlic to almost everything, I used Pillsbury's garlic butter crescent dough. It was great!! Thanks!

I have made this once and will make again with tweaks: the filling needs to be spread on thicker all the way to the edge and I will add a little hot sauce to the mix and less jalepeno. Definately something to play around with because it is really good!

These were really easy. I used a combination of jalapeno and green pepper and also substituted the cilantro with spinach. These had a subtle bite and were enjoyed at the family Christmas potluck!

Super good! I brought this to a pot luck...everyone raved! A few tips..be sure to not use a greased baking sheet, I think this hinders the rolls from puffing up. I roasted my jalapeños just in case there was anyone that didn't like heat; very good idea...but next time I would kick it up a notch and add a few more tablespoons to add more flavor without the heat. Thanks Chef :0)
