I also used some jalapeno and added garlic to add a little extra spice. Very nice side dish.

This was the perfect vegetable dish to serve with my recipe's #119723 - Kat's Spanish Rice and #110947 - Mexican Corn Bread. Very tasty even though I left the cilantro out and so quick to prepare. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.

This made a great side dish for our Mexican dinner. I was out of mushrooms and too lazy to go back to the store so I just omitted them. The dish still turned out wonderful. Very easy to make and colorful for a nice presentation. Can't wait to make this again. Thanks for sharing another great recipe, Chicagopm.

This was a nice side dish to our Mexican meal. I used a milder pepper and it was too mild. Very easy to make and very colorful.

I used Jalapeno. I chopped it in half and seeded one half of it, then diced the whole thing up. It turned out very spicy but since we like spicey food, it was GREAT!
