I made these tonight for a meatless dinner and they were very tasty. I made them using Salsa picante and Fresh whole-wheat pitas(both CL recipes)and they were great! I just used 2% cheddar instead of mexican blend because that's all my store had. I will make these again and again! I also recommend both of the other recipes that I used to make these. Both 5 star recipes for sure!
