    very good! I added onions and garlic to the mixture and used flour tortillas. Then I topped with some lettuce and a little sour cream before serving. Yum! - 6/14/11

    I tried this with refried beans, weight watchers shredded cheese and hot salsa for a quick brown bag lunch. Wrap it up in the tortilla of choice and microwave at lunch time. Serve with a side of guacamole...yum! - 7/5/11

    suggest adding 1 tsp or cumin or chili powder; also suggest adding chopped onion, garlic, tomatoes, green peppers, shredded lettuce on top; guacomole on side or top. - 2/4/12
