These were very good! I can't believe that I made this, it was so easy. I shredded some leftover turkey breast (that was smoked) and added cumin, adobo seasoning, garlic powder as well as the seasoning called for in the recipe. They turned out perfect and I will be adding this to our Tex-Mex list of recipes in the future! Thanks for sharing!

These were fantastic! Of course, I added a little more chili powder, cumin, and salt for an extra kick. We stuffed ourselves silly on these. This recipe is a definate keeper. Thanks so, so much for sharing!

This was delicious! It was fast and yummy... AND it passed the picky eater boyfriend test. He said "make sure you remember this." TYVM for the recipe. I use toothpicks to help hold together while frying, but it really wasn't an issue with this recipe. It was more habit than anything.
