Very yummy! I grew up making these with my mom and sisters, and everyone I knew loved them! They're easy to make and incredibly tempting! Add chicken or cilantro if you like. I suggest pairing it with easy-to-make boxed Mexican rice.

I modified this from a recipe I heard on Zorba Pasteur's show on NPR. I was afraid it was going to be bland but it turned out to have wonderful flavor.
