Chicken Fajita Pie

[pmuhlhan]

Thumbs up to KW for this recipe. I cooked it yesterday. I used regular fajita tortillas, regular sour cream and regular cheese (not low fat). Sorry, I'm a cheater, but I'm sure that it would be just as good with whole wheat tortillas and low fat ingredients. My husband was very impressed. He also cooks and kept saying over and over again (all evening) how good it was. Great flavor mix. Thanks, again KW! Regards, Paula

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I am like you - I don't use fat-free products - I want a great flavor - all the calories, etc. to go with it! LOL

sounds wonderful, but do you have to use dried tomatoes? Wouldnt fresh chopped ones work? And you do two sets of dried tomatoe mixes with the 1/4 cup?
