These are so yummy and so good for you! Used gorganzola cheese, but otherwise stuck with the recipe as written. Served with sour cream and salsa. We actually made a batch and kept in the refrigerator for the teens in the house. Photo will follow after technical difficulties are ironed out. :-) Made for 8th Photo Swap.

Great snack, or lunch, and quick as a wink to put together. We sure had enough turkey left over, and this was a perfect way to use it! I used pico de gallo alongside, with some salsa, and did use the queso fresco, which, was just delicious! I just re/warmed the turkey up and chopped well. Yum! Thanks so much!

A hearty, healthy, EASY lunch or snack! Delicious with salsa or pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream. Didn't have queso fresco, so subbed mozzarella.
