We love this recipe. I always add extra garlic & cumin, as well as Mexican oregano, & definitely use extra sharp cheddar. The mildness of the recipe sets off more spicy sides. I usually serve with Fiesta Rice (also CL) & a spicy slaw. It's a good way to use up leftover turkey or chicken (sometimes both).
