My most recent creation....These are packed full of flavor and so moist and yummy!! Great when you need to be gone and want to come home to a hot meal that will be ready in minutes. This recipe can be easily adapted to everyone's likes by changing the toppings or seasonings according to your taste. Could be served with black beans and rice, but they really are a meal just by themselves. Enjoy!
