Introduction

My husband and I are doing the low carb thing, but we love flavor in our foods. I came up with this little dish so we could have flavor but not a killer on the carbs (about 7 per serving after you factor out the fiber or about 4 if you leave off the sour cream and cheese).

We add a little shredded cheddar and light sour cream (that is added in the nutrition info here).
