Recipe: #11962
January 25, 2014
"I first tried this recipe when I was an active member of another recipe site. I did change this up a tad bit. The original author of this simple recipe is Ummbinat. The recipe called for this to be served with a pita bread but it is also good with fajita shells. For gluten free I serve this with gluten free fajita shells and use 1/2 cup of #recipe11244 instead of regular all-purpose flour."
