Loved it! We love spicy food and this hit the nail on the head. Spicy enough to be delicious, but not so much that you can't taste your food. We didn't change a thing. Used 2 rather large boneless, skinless breasts and there was almost no topping left over (I didn't crush the tortillas to a powder though, I left them a little chunky). We served this with recipe #11657 by Evie* and a side salad. Delightful and filling dinner!

These were very good, my husband who really is`nt a chicken fan loved them. I never have good luck baking things like this, they never brown right, especially in the amount of time called for so I fried them in oil and butter. We dipped them in honey mustard, ketchup and even chinese mustard, I think if I`d had some ranch dressing that would have been great too.

These were awesome!! Very spicy but that's what we like. I have a 2 year old that can't eat the spicy foods yet. So, I doubled the recipe. One I made as is and the other I used Old El Paso taco seasoning for the spices. This wasn't too spicy for him. So, we were all happy. I have made this two times so far and it's becoming a regular meal to fix. One time I didn't have any eggs so I just used mayonaise mixed with the water and worked just as well. Thanks Zuzie-Q for the great recipe!

I am a proud mother of three healthy boys aged 15,11 and 5. I'm originally from the tiny island of Bermuda and have been living in Edinburgh since July 2005.
I've been collecting recipes since I was about 14 or 15 and been cooking and baking since then as well.
I love all kinds of crafts also. In my spare time if I'm not in the kitchen; I crochet, make jewelry, bead, knit, sew, cross stitch, do plastic canvas and quilt. I have a short attention span, so I have plenty of different craft choices when I get bored of doing something. Oh, and I also like to read, listen to music, fiddle with any electronic gadget, collect dvd's and watch them, and I'm an internetaholic! :-) I keep a craft blog at http://hobbyzu.blogspot.com and I sell my crocheted items and patterns at http://hobbyzu.com. I keep pretty busy and being self employed gives me more time to explore cooking! :-)
I'm mostly interested in cook books featuring regular old home cooking and favorites. When I moved to the UK I had to get rid of my cookbook collection. I did keep all my Bermudian cookbooks, charity cookbooks and 'The Foods of Israel Today' and Better Homes and Gardens 'Hometown Favorites'.

I am most passionate when it comes to my family and caring for them. Getting to feed them is an added bonus! Lucky for me, my boys are steadily growing pigs with bottomless pits for stomachs! lol :-)
