[Its all good]

Hey Fluffy, a wonderful recipe. I deviated a little; I took one red pepper, 1 green pepper, and one poblano pepper and roasted them on the grill. I chopped them up and added it to the rest of the recipe. The poblano pepper really gave this recipe a distinct flavor. I also sprinkled a small amount of ancho seasoning to it.
