mandabears's Note:

I love this as a light dinner. I usually serve it with steamed brown rice, steamed tortillas. You could sprinkle it with cheese, but I don't. You can also add some grilled chicken or shrimp if you like

I follow this recipe to a "T" and it turned out perfect. It was sooo beautiful and tasty, and yet great with my chili powder chicken. Thanks for posting!!

Love this, it has been a favorite of mine since forever. We never put beans in it and we always have it as a side dish.
