You can eat these as a snack! You could put them inside a tortilla and throw in your choice of sauces and vegetables and you have yourself a nice tortilla roll!

You could simply crumble them and stuff them inside two tortillas and some cheddar cheese, grill it and you have yourself a yummy and crispy Quesadilla.

You could crumble them, stuff them inside a burger, line it with some tomatoes and lettuce, add a slice of cheese and a drizzle of mustard will give you a quick burger!
