Other tricks you can pull is to throw these on the grill or in the oven. I will sometimes throw them under the broiler just to make them extra crispy once they are done on the stove. Also, you can serve them on a bun, wrap or over some spinach.
Serve it up with pasta salad, sweet potatoes or couscous.
