“Simple and flavorful! We made it for taco night tonight and it was an excellent addition. Super easy to make and great flavor. I personally would prefer a little less tomato flavor but the family all devoured it and that’s really saying something with pick” — a cook, 5.0★
“Easy to make and super flavorful, only change was to substitute the 1/2 cup tomato sauce with enchilada sauce. Rice is a frequent side dish for us and now we have an additional go to recipe.” — a cook, 5.0★
