  • FATRASBERI
     The recipe is good but there is to much sodium. I omitted 1/2 the cheese and used 6" tortilas, plus red pepper flakes. yum. - 4/8/09

     Grest recipe. Use chicken breast to lower the sodium - 3/18/09
  • AMBITIOUSBEAUTY
     Anything Mexican is worth making. So it has a lot of sodium, this isn't a food you would eat every day..it's something to have to have as a treat every once in a while. - 3/17/09

     I made this with a little of my left over cooked ground beef i had,from the night before with some drained kidney beans, flax and homemade taco mix ( so i dont get the preservatives and extra sodium) ohhh so good. Nice different to serve food. I could only eat half a wrap with my salad :) Stuffed! - 11/16/07

     Great recipe - we've used left over turkey, left over chicken and turkey sandwich meat for this and they all taste great. Quick and easy to fix with little cleanup! - 4/14/07

  • PEACEFULONE
     I like to sprinkle taco seasoning on the chicken and I use the spinach tortilla wraps. Family prefers it without the cilantro and jalapenos. - 6/8/14
