“This is one of those recipes where you'll cross your eyes in pleasure after tasting. Great for vegetarian meat substitute or hiding veggies from your kids. They do not taste like squash. If you don't have cotija cheese, you can substitute Parmesan. But cotija marries well with cumin. Serve with refried beans for extra yum.” - by Wonder Becky

"This was incredibly delicious!! I made a few changes. 1) I used coconut oil. I NEVER use canola. EVER. 2) I added about 4-5 cloves of fresh garlic. 3) Used brown rice tortilla. 3. Used rice "c..." See moreheese". We are vegetarian, but I still eat eggs, so I did not change that up.This did take some time to prepare everything, but it cooked up rather quick, and easy. And was just delicious. I also added some sweet chili pepper sauce to top off the flavors!! This is amazing!!"
