 Marni (Ontario) says:
I have made this several times. It's fast, yummy and easy. Only thing I do differently is instead of plain tomatoes I make fresh pico-de-gallo and pop that on top. (Pico = a chopped roma tomatoe (take the seeds and guck out), a bit of chopped sweet onion, a bit of jalepeno chopped (seeded and cleaned), splash of lime juice and bit of salt.)) Oh and I crunch up some nacho chips just under the cheese layer for some texture too.
