I made these for my lunches during the week for a refreshing change pace. The flavors are awesome, but I must say this was not a "sit at your desk" lunch as they were a tad difficult to assemble. I will definately make these again either as written for dinners, but perhaps a "desk lunch" option would be to use a pot roast beef marinated overnight in all these wonderful inrediants then cook in a crock pot (marinade included) on low for 8 hours, then shred the beef... portability!
