This recipe is soooo good! I came across it this summer when I was looking for some healthier recipes to try at home. Mike and I liked it so much, we ate it four nights in a row for dinner. It's really, really yummy! I wasn't able to eat it while I was on my detox because your not allowed to have regular salad dressing or picante sauce (due to salt), but I did eat it afterwards. I do have to say it's becoming one of my favs. It'll suprise your taste buds, it's easy to make, and there's hardly any clean up! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Happy taste testing!
