This is a dish you can use many ways!!! Eat it like a burrito, in place of taco meat on your tacos, as a dip for tortilla chips, or our favorite way is to put just a little in a soft flour taco with a little salsa and low fat sour cream. yummm... however you eat it, it is wonderful!

1/2 teaspoon basil

1/4 teaspoon oregano

1/4 teaspoon thyme

3/4 cup shredded 2 % cheddar cheese (this can be left out for a vegan)
