Reviews
It’s good, but a little bland for my tastes. I added some cumin and raw onions (perhaps not for all and am happier with it.
The flavors are fantastic. Easy and quick meal. Recommended!!
My boyfriend hates healthy food, but he went absolutely crazy for this recipe. It was yummy, spicy (but not too much), cheap, and easy. He’s already asking me when I’m going to make it again!
Excellent! Healthy, yummy, and cost effective. Doesn’t get any better than that!
