Yummy! The only thing I did different was add some green chilies and diced jalapeños.

From Brandy 5-12-2008 This was very good, and will make again. when I do I'll add some peas and chicken. then add a few more points to it for WW.

I guess I forgot to review this, though I've made it about 10 times already. It's become my standard Mexican rice. I omit the chili pepper and use Texmati rice, and it turns out great everytime, spinkled with some Quesa Fresca, of course! Thanks.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this already! I've made this dish several times and we love it!! The only changes I make are cutting the broth to 1 cup and use 1 cup of tomato sauce instead. I also add a bit of adobo (about a tsp) and a pinch of chili powder. Thanks for this recipe, it's fantastic!
