I made this recipe as part of our "cutting back on meat" and my husband and I really enjoyed them. My two young daughters 12 and 4 did not love them, but our guest and her 2 kids ages 12 and 10 really liked them. So, you will have look at the ingredient and see if you think your family will enjoy them. The smokey flavor from the title probably comes from the cumin.
