We enjoyed these little turnovers served with sour cream and some salsa on the side. I added finely chopped onion and a little bit of garlic instead of the powder, some dried oregano and touch of cumin. These were good, but not as flavourful as I would like, next time I would add my own taco seasonings. Thanks Nonnie for a simple little dinner with salad!
