Absolutly wonderful. I LOVED these, I left out the jalepeno (weak stomach) but put some lettuce and tomato on it and wrapped it up in a tortilla. Yumtastic. Hefty portions is right though, wow almost to much for one sitting - 3/19/09

Glad you liked them :)
I agree it's a lot for one sitting- I tend to spread my meals out a bit, so I usually eat a little and then have the rest later. I like to spray a tortilla with just a little bit of oil and brown it over medium-low heat until it gets almost crunchy, then use it like a chip :)
