I made this for supper and my husband and I were very happy with the way this tasted. Spicy but did not burn our mouths. I also liked it because it was easy and I didn't have to spend all night in the kitchen. Thanks Nurse Di.

I made this for dinner last night and our household was full of smiles! I didn't use the onion or green pepper (my husband doesn't like). I used diced tomatoes with green chilis, extra lean meat, brown rice and fat free cheddar cheese. Added fresh jalapenos, extra hot sauce and tortillas. Thank you so much for this recipe. My husband won't let me forget this one!

NurseDi...your dish was perfectly spiced, and a great addition to our weekday meal menu! (minus the hot sauce that is) Thankyou!!
