YUM!!!! This was my first time making and eating maque choux and I enjoyed both the ease of preparation as well as the wonderful fresh taste of the different veggies together. The spicing was perfect, too.

I used this as a side dish and it was delicious! I didn't have tomatoes so I used a can of diced tomatoes, drained. And it's healthy to boot. Love it! Made for 1-2-3 Zaar Hits Tag Game 2010.
