I wasn’t feeling well today and needed something easy to feed the family. I found this recipe and, voila, dinner! I didn’t have any tomato sauce so I used a can of diced tomatoes. It was delicious! I liked that it wasn’t spicy (not everyone eats spicy) and my husband was free to use the hot sauce. Thanks for posting!

Very quick and tasty! Used only 4 pork chops and medium hot salsa instead of tomato sauce - I tend not to like tomato sauce based foods so I thought I'd give salsa a try! Turned out very flavourful indeed, bordering on a-bit-too-much, so the next time I will, historically, give the plain tomato sauce a go: the taco seasoning really adds a lot of taste so it might just work. Yes, I should have trusted your recipe, Lvs2Cook! :-) We did add more cheese and the next time I think I will quickly blend some of it into the rice, too. Thank you for sharing!
