I really liked this dish, but the breading leaves some concerns? While it comes out of the oven nice and fresh, I am a bit concerned on the leftover portions from this dish. For a small sized family, this might be a little too much, and could easily have the ingredients reduced to half the amounts. If for company, the recipe would be fine as is. I would prefer a smaller portion of this combined with another Mexican style dish as an additional reinforcement (I combined this recipe with the "QUICK QUESADILLA" recipe found in this site). I will be making this one again as it was very enjoyable, but smaller in size due to my family requirements. Again, if this was for company... or was the only dish being served, it could be fine as is.03/15/05
