I thought it was pretty good but my picky husband & daughter didn't like the salsa. I will still make it again.

This is very fast and easy, just as it says in the recipe description. What it doesn't say is that it is also delicious! I didn't have any Mexican seasoning, so I used Moroccan seasoning instead. Aside from that, I pretty much kept to the recipe. I served this with couscous and the best thing about it was that there was some left over that I could take into the office for lunch the next day. I will make this again on a regular basis. Who knows? Maybe one day I'll be able to score some Mexican seasoning and have this dish the way it was meant to be eaten. Thanks!
