I got this recipe from a home economics instructor when I was teaching in Oklahoma. I think it represents the Southwest because of its spicy flavor. It can be used as an appetizer before a Mexican meal or served as a snack.

I made these for a gathering and everyone loved them. I brought them in to work and have had several people ask for the recipe. I think I'll try it with turkey sausage next time. I am also considering using mini muffin pans to help keep their shape.

I was not too crazy about these. We ate them but I would probably never make them again.

I must have done something wrong. There was too much butter and too much cheese. These just melted into pancakes in my oven. I don't think I will try again.
