I made this tonight for dinner and we loved it. My little ones thought it was spicey though. What do they know they are 4 and 2. I will make this again but next time I will cut back on the green chilies and tomatoes. Two cans of tomatoes was a bit much for us. This was very tasty. Thanks wicked noodle!
