This was a new recipe for us and I know will definitely become one of our favorite regulars. I loved the melted cheese and chilies oozing out its goodness when you cut it open! The spices in the crust were perfect. Oh, it was good!
It was so easy to throw together the night before and super easy to come home after work and throw in the oven...only 30 minutes and it was ready.
I'm making this again next week!
