"Just a fun, quick recipe for the dog days of summer and you can't stand the thought of turning on the oven. You can leave the flax seed out, but it adds some nice fiber, without changing the taste ;)"

  1. I also did not use flax seed because I did not have it. I added a little bit of salsa to make it a little juicier and to give it a little kick. And, I sprinkled with Borden's Colby and Monterey Jack cheeses. Yum!
     
  2. Made this last night for the fam and it was a big hit! I didn't have flax seed so I left those out, but I did add just a touch of cumin and chili powder for fun. I will definitely make this one again!
