I made this recipe as one of my "Pick-A-Chef" recipes, and what a great choice it was! I expected this dish to be a little spicy, but it was pretty mild and had a great flavor. My husband added some chopped fresh jalapenos to his portion for an extra kick. I served this with floured tortillas and rice.
