Mexican food is certainly a fan favorite in our house, but other than tacos we rarely cook it ourselves. I find a lot of recipes to be complicated and unhealthy. My fiancé came across this recipe, however, and it’s become a staple because it’s so simple and filling. With the cream cheese and breadcrumbs you could argue it’s not terribly healthy however we use reduced fat cream cheese and whole-wheat tortillas. You can also always choose whole wheat bread crumbs. Either way, it’s a vegetarian dish and only takes about 15 minutes to make total. So there ya have it! Enjoy.
