Really easy, and tasty. I don't think my chorizo was spicy enough, and with my 3 year old in mind, I cut the cayenne down to 1/4 tsp. Next time, I'll add more cayenne and find a more flavorful chorizo. I don't like corn in things, so I substituted green peppers, which worked nicely. My husband really liked this dish, so it will be made again. Thank you!

Until I was 20 years old i was fed basic plain old English food. I moved out, met a friend from India who taught me things about HOW to cook, not just read the recipe type stuff. I never looked back.
