“We made this last night and LOVED IT. Both my husband and I were scraping our plates. We did the full on spicy version ;) I also forgot to buy minute rice at the store so I just made some brown rice in a pot and added it into the foil packs in the last 10 min ” — a cook, 5.0★

“I must admit I was skeptical but this was absolutely delicious! I didn't have the fire roasted tomatoes so i added some Chipotle powder. Also didn't have the zucchini and minute rice. I cooked the rice until it was just about done then added to the foil pack. ” — a cook, 5.0★
