Boy am I glad I picked this for one of my PAC recipes. I did make a couple of adjustments though, I didn't add the green beans, for some reason they just didn't sound right to me, I thought about using wax beans instead but couldn't find them in my store when I went, so I skipped it entirely and threw in a small can of chopped green chilies. I also added a healthy shot of orange juice as the olive oil-lime juice-herb paste was a little stiff, (tequila might be a good choice too, for adults of course)..and finally I added some chopped pickled jalapenos for a little extra zap. I can see why you eat this stuff for breakfast, it's addictive. Thanks Abby Girl, for a recipe I'll be making again and again. Forgot to say, I served it with Jamican jerk marinated boneless pork chops, and baked sweet potatoes..wonderful flavor combos
