This was a great meal! I just made it and it was a huge success, even with my picky little eaters. I put it over rice and I also tried it on tortilla chips and I honestly don't know which I liked better. Either way it was wonderful and I will bemaking it again. =) Thanks for sharing!!!

This is a keeper. I used some Habanero salsa and New Mexico Hatch Chiles (hot) that I had roasted and frozen last fall. I added fresh chopped cilantro and some powdered cumin. Skipped the rice, although I'll bet it's good, and had some corn tortillas instead. Great recipe. Thanks for posting.
