Loved this recipe. I didn’t include the onions, cilantro, lettuce, lime, etc., and it still was a delicious dinner.
Wow! These are great! I couldn’t believe that there is no meat in them-they are so satisfying!! Thanks for posting this one! It is sure to become a staple in our family.
that’s what my husband said the first time we had them….at the end of the meal he looks at me and says, “you tricked me! I didn’t eat any meat and I’m full!” it’s a good recipe!
ps…I often just skip the lettuce with the homemade salsa portion of the recipe, rachel. you’re not alone!
