The Captain and I love snacky stuff and this recipe looks perfect for the type of snacks we like! Great for those times we are craving mexican type foods.
I'm always looking for ways to make a new recipe with variations and this one is no different . . . I'm thinking simple ham and cheese finger food! Great lunch idea with a salad!
Another great recipe from Pillsbury.com!
