Great dish! Easy, tasty and just good!
I served it with fresh avocado slices and a little sour cream and enjoyed it for brunch.
I made Mexican Mimosas and served it with fresh melon in a spicy mint dressing. YUMMY!

Thx for a nice easy recipe.

Quite a tasty recipe! Very good dish for brunch as it is fairly rich. Recommend a dash of Chalula sauce when served - those who love spicy, southwestern type cuisine, this will be a keeper!
