  1. I’m going to try adding shredded chicken and top them with sour cream and guacamole to make it a dinner instead of an appetizer (my husband doesn’t think it’s a dinner if there’s no meat *eye roll*) thank you for the great idea!

  2. These are delicious! My husband is diabetic so I’m always looking for healthy foods to try and he loved these, as did I.
