11-05-2015 How can you not like this!? Well Hubs didn t think much of it. But what s not to like I asked him because I thought in addition to serving its purpose as a respectable side dish to the chicken enchiladas I served it with it was pretty tasty nicely flavored. I mean it had peppers and onions and a little tomato (and a dab of butter just because). Since I used chicken broth and not the unusual variety the recipe called for (I ve never seen it) I added some Penzey s taco seasoning and some garlic powder to compensate. I d rate it a decent four stars but I had to know what it was he didn t like. So I pressed the issue. The beans he said. Oh my. The beans. The rice which he said was okay but then gave himself away by leaving half of it on his plate was a fail because of the beans. Unbelievable. Well he s wrong. Read More

I used a rice cooker and mexican sauce. It was ok pretty spicy for me but my husband loved it. Lots of prep x. Certainly more than 2o min. more like an hour. Happy Cooking. Read More

My local store didn't have the tortilla flavored broth so I substituted a can of diced tomatoes with chili's and 2 cups of vegie broth. Turned out just fine. Will definitely make again. Good vegetarian dish. Read More
