this looks delish!

SWGB , this recipe sounds delicious! Any ideas how to minimize and/or make a substitution for the mayonnaise? Even though I ate mayo as a snack when I was a kid

, my husband isn't wild about it. He'll eat cole slaw with a little mayo in it, but that's the extent of his mayo consumption.

you could cut the mayo with some sour cream for non-mayo fans? I'm thinking this sounds great and maybe spread thinly across a nice fresh flour tortilla and then rolled and sliced into pinwheels would be really cute. Also would be nice served in baked tostito scoops!

I'm soooooo making this!
