This was really good. The only thing I did different was to leave out the olives (husband hates them), and the green peppers( I hate them cooked) otherwise I will make this often! Thanks :)

This was delicious! I left out the chili and cumin as I don't like Mexican too spicy and it was really good with sour cream! Thanks for posting!
