+Not yet, but I will this week. My daughter is a nurse and has a busy schedule. I fix dinner for her family often. This sounds easy and delicious. My way of cooking.
I’ve printed it off so I can go shopping.

It was ok.
It was really dank
Very good. Will add to recipe collection.
I thought this was ok, maybe a 3* but my husband loved it. Therefore the compromise of a 4*. I made it exactly as written, but I thought it needed more kick. Next time I would throw in the whole jalepeno. All in all, I would say it’s a “safe” Mexican dish for those that don’t like to try spicier things.
Absolutely delicious. Have made it over and over again. Also took it to the beach with some tortillas as a kind of fajita. It’s always a huge hit!
This is a 5 star recipe based on ease, versitility and healthfulness! It’s really good! I have swapped out ground turkey for ground chicken, black beans for the kidney and have used light sour cream in place of the yogurt…all good!
I used smoked sausage with mine. It was very good but hard to keep lit.
SO. GOOD. Fast and easy, nutritious and delicious. Tossed in a little cayenne pepper for a little extra heat and it was perfect.
realllly good!!!!!
