  1. This was a real crowd-pleaser! I made the following "personal touches":<br/>I used fire roasted tomatoes and added 1tsp Tajin Classic Seasoning (chili/lime salt) on the fillets. I also substituted a can of Bush's Grillin' Beans - Black Bean Fiesta flavor for the black beans, and used Knorr Mexican Rice and a bag of frozen southwestern style corn for the side dish. YUM! Tons of flavor in a low-fat, healthy meal!
     
  2. I love this recipe! It's quick and easy, and allows plenty of room for personalizing. I made it again tonight, using a variety of Mexican cheeses and a mango salsa in place of the tomatoes.
     
  3. Excellent flavor - I did take some liberties - I did not add the cheese I used 1 tbsp of lite mayo and a fresh tomato with added mexi spices. Bake time was 20 minutes
     
  4. Very easy to make. Added thin sliced jalapeno's on top for a spicy touch. Served with white rice. Definately a keeper!
     
  5. Excellent and easy! Thanks :)
