This was dinner tonight and it was pretty tasty. The next time I make it I may play with the spices a bit so I get a little burn. We'll see. I had a couple tablespoons of reduced fat cheddar cheese on mine. Next time I'll probably had a little sourcream or plain greek yogurt and maybe some green onions.
