This definitely had some kick but needed salt and maybe something else. If I made it again, I might add corn and black beans. I just needed something more I guess. I cooked the brown rice seperate as others had suggested. My husband did enjoy this, although he poured hot sauce on it, also.

This had good flavor and was spicy. I doubled all the spices. Also used instant brown rice as the reviewers had suggested. I would probably cut the water in half if I was to make this again, because it seemed really soupy.

Great recipe! One correction, brown rice takes 45 minutes to cook. White rice is the one that only takes 15. No need to cook the brown rice separately as long as you adjust the cooking time in the skillet. 5 stars for taste, 4 stars because I had to adjust the cooking time from the instructions.
