Loved how easy this dish is! I didn't add the cheese into the mix since we are trying to eat lighter. I just added a little on the top after dishing up. We ate it with the flour tortillas - good. Then my husband ate ALL the rest the next day for lunch. He loves it - you would have thought I had put steak in there as much as he raved about it. I am doing this one again! (and again since it is so easy!) Thanks SGpratt!

I love this site -- recipes for the real world and the people who live in it!

<br>I'm currently an at-home mom and a busy volunteer with three children. I'm encouraged by the number of recipes on recipezaar that will help me expand my children's palate beyond chicken and noodles.

<br>I am eager to reduce the sugar my kids consume and increase the amount of fiber. I've been experimenting with substituting whole wheat flour where I can with some positive results. I look forward to discovering more recipes that can be modified so that I can sneak more whole grain into my family's diet!
