These were very, very good. I some how ended up with a lot of leftover filling so I just threw it in the freezer. The only change we will make, when we have it again, is to add more heat to the mixture, as 2 teaspoons just aren't enough for us. Also was thinking about serving them enchilada style with a green chile sauce. However, the original recipe as written was a hit at our house! Thnx for posting, mickeydownunder.
