Really good, the whole family enjoyed this. Served in flour or corn tortillas with beans and rice on the side. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This will definitely make it into our regular rotation as it is fast and tastes great. I cooked it a bit longer than specified because we like our veggies soft but other than that the only change I made was to add black beans and serve it over brown rice. Everyone loved it... even the baby...

This was a quick and simple recipe! Very tasty...even the pickiest eater cleaned his plate! The only thing I did different was I used homemade salsa instead of storebought, and I used red bell pepper instead of green. We sprinkled a little cheddar on top and served with corn tortillas! Great recipe! Thanks for posting!!!

This was DELICIOUS! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it!!! I might go a little easier on the chili powder next time, but I will definitely make this again!
