I made these for the first time after a co-worker of mine asked me if I could make something for him that was mexican, but still easy on his waist line (stupid models). Well, being the nice woman that I am, I told him that for $40 I would make him anything he wanted. Believe it or not, he actually paid me. After making him pay that much money I decided to atleast try to make something half way descent for him, and this is what I came up with. I've never actually tried these myself, but that's only because they never last long enough at my work for me to get one. I take that as a good enough sign to post this recipe before trying it, okay? So, I just hope that you like them as much as my co-workers do! Thanx! Ingredients:
