  1. This was very, very good. I added a little bit of shredded cheese before placing in the oven, but otherwise followed the recipe verbatim. They turned out delicious and was relatively easy.
     
  2. Tasty. I wanted to try something different and this sounded like it. It was easy to make and ready to eat quickly. I wanted to cut the fat grams so I used some 8 inch "Fat Free Tortillas" that had only 89 calories, as opposed to the 10 inch whole wheat I used to use that has 200 calories and 4.5 g of fat. I may add some shredded fat free cheese on top of the mixture before folding over the tortillas, to give it that extra melted cheese oomph. Thanks Karen, great recipe.
     
  3. Husband loved these! I used Recipe #9272 but on the spicy side. This was really easy to throw together and then I just put them in the flavorwave for a couple minutes to brown. Served with a salad for a nice quick dinner. Thanks so much!!
     
  4. This is a staple in our house for those nights when we need something quick and easy to throw together. Yummy!
     
  5. I made the filling, and then made sandwiches out of it. It is excellent, warm and cold, and makes a change from the normal chicken salad sandwiches in your lunch! I also added some shakes of chili powder to the mixture, as I didn't think it was spicy enough.

Tweaks

  1. We really liked this. DH was in the mood for something "kind of Mexican" and I was tired, so I wanted something simple to make. This was perfect. I used Campbell's Fiesta Nacho Cheese soup and leftover chicken. I also added a bit of cumin, chili powder, cayenne and garlic. The mixture was good and thick, and I love that this was baked rather than fried. I think you could substitute just about any meat for the chicken (including seafood) or use beans instead. Thank you for posting.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live in Pa (outside of Philadelphia) and cooking, baking, cross-stitching and reading are my hobbies. <br /> <br />I collect cookbooks and cookie stamps/cutters and have a pretty big collection of both. I am also a fan of all things Amish, so I have quite a collection of things picked up in Reading, Lancaster and surrounding areas here in Pennsylvania. <br /> <br />I have 4 kids, who are the loves of my life and cooking for them and my husband keeps me on my toes! ;) <br /> <br />We bought an ice cream parlor in March 04 and it's been quite an experience! <br /> <br />Note: I love getting feedback on my recipes; all I ask is that you actually *make* them before reviewing them. <br /> <br />Also, if you make changes or substitutions, I'd love to see your suggestions and/or comments, but I'd appreciate no rating at all if it's not made as posted. Too many recipe reviews state margarine subbed for butter (if I list butter, it's REAL butter), different spices, low-fat ingredients, whole wheat flour instead of white, etc. The recipes will not work/taste as intended, so it's really not fair to rate them as such. <br /> <br />I'd also really appreciate it if you refrain from rating a recipe if you overcook or overbake it or it you don't refrigerate or store as listed. <br /> <br />I, of course, will adhere to the above when rating recipes, too! <br /> <br />Thanks and have a great day! <br /> <br />My Rating System: <br /> <br />***** A delicious recipe that was thoroughly enjoyed. It has excellent, detailed directions and is perfect as is. If a dish is especially easy, and I'm on the fence, I will give it 5* for ease even if it's very good instead of great. Something I will definitely make again. <br /> <br />**** Excellent recipe but confusing directions that I will make again in my own less confusing way OR Very good recipe that I'll probably make again if I find the time! <br /> <br />*** Good/OK recipe but probably not something I would make again OR Very Good recipe that doesn't have clear, detailed directions. <br /> <br />** Recipe was edible but not really enjoyed and will not be made again. Work involved not a good trade-off for the end result. <br /> <br />* Not edible and probably an error in the recipe. I feel that I pick recipes with ingredients our family likes, so in my opinion, there's an error somewhere. If there's a chance I made the error, I won't rate the recipe. ;) <br /> <br /><img src=http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/swapbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&amp;current=cookieswapparticip.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/cookieswapparticip.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/honey-pot-print-c10069558.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&amp;current=09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p>
