Introduction

I saw this recipe made on The Biggest Losers. I didn't have any ground turkey on hand, so I used lean ground beef. This is double the origianl recipe. Makes great leftovers for lunch.

    Delish! Some of the kids ate them with tortillas, I used romaine hearts; overall pretty good. I understand the recipe to be 1/4 cup filling per serving. - 5/3/11
