I’m constantly on the hunt for new and unique recipes that I’m itching to try…that’s what having this blog has done to me!  My recipes “tab” on my browser is out of control, I pretty much love it.

I came across a similar recipe to this one yesterday and I decided to whip it out! I have to admit, at first I wasn’t so sure about this – I even told husband  that we might have to order pizza for dinner.  We both love Mexican food and I was getting bored of tacos, so I just went for it, and I’m so glad I did!  This took no time at all to whip up and it turned out awesome!

Enjoy!
