  1. Really fantastic one dish meal. We had it with a salad and it was completely filling. I made for the "Best of 2010" tag game. I added about a half can of refried black beans to the layering process along with a small can of sliced black olives. Sooo good!
     
  2. Delicious quick recipe that I made for Spring PAC 2010. I added black beans and my kids gobbled it up! I did add a little extra cumin and peppers. Thanks!
     
  3. Very tasty & easy to make. I roasted my own bell peppers and used black beans.
     
  4. This dish was SO easy to make, not to mention fun! It tasted delicious, and there was plenty left over. I added olives, green bell peppers, and shredded marinated chicken breast-FANTASTIC!!!
