Found on "Mexican Recipes to Learn & Share" Facebook page and shared to a recipe group I joined. My family loved this recipe and asked for more. I comfortably fed my family of 5 with this recipe (only two of us had seconds) as is but am choosing to double for the next time so that I can have a few left overs.
