[I love spicy food]

Really tasty spice combo. I used leftover turkey and tossed it with the spices in oil for about 3 minutes until it was warmed through. We used wraps instead of pitas. The sour cream sauce was great! Next time I would use the pitas as said. Use the cilantro (not parsley). Great way to use leftovers!!

These are great! I made a few minor changes to this recipe which we enjoyed by using chicken breasts (instead of turkey), skipping the paprika and fennel (out of) and instead of the green chilies I used 1 jalapeno. I also used fat free sour cream and whole grain pita bread. Great pita sandwiches which we served with fruit salad. Thanks for sharing this keeper which we will be having often!
