This can serve double duty as a main or as a really hearty side dish. You can also swap out the rice for quinoa or even cauliflower rice. YUM.

I love Mexican anything. I have a whole ebook dedicated to Mexican fare. You really should go and give it a whirl. It is of course free to Insiders!!

This is straight from that book, but I think it first appeared elsewhere. I cannot recall to be honest. I am nothing if not prolific. In fact, I plan to slow down a notch...so if you are thinking you need more Tenina...go and join me on the inside. That will not slow down at all. Promise.

In the meantime. Fiesta on!
