Since it's been pouring rain all day I decided to use Maito's oven method to help warm the place up. It came out looking great and was delicious. I loved the toppings (skipped the sour cream). Used boneless breast halves and, although I halved the amount I still used the full amount of cumin and cayenne. YUM.

The garnishes are really what make this 5 star. They all meld so well together with the meat and vegetables. I baked this at 375 for 50 minutes so I didn't have to worry about it sticking. It gave the red pepper a nice roasted flavor. I scaled this down for 2 people, but still used the whole pepper and whole can of beans. I did not add any water to the baking dish, used 2 garlic cloves and doubled the cumin.
