This was good and not overly spicy. In fact, I think I'll add more spice to the leftovers. We ate ours in a bowl with a spoon, stew-fashion. It would be great with tortilla chips too. What I really love is the healthy benefits: low in fat, calories and carbs. I did add a can of black beans and some chopped cilantro. Thanks for sharing this recipe and congrats on being Chef of the Day!
