Nice and easy! I used hot salsa for a nice kick. Thanks for sharing :-) -
I have made this recipe about 4 times now and it has been a tremendous hit every single time. Wouldn't change a thing, except maybe double up the recipe. Thanks for such a great meal idea.

We really liked this, especially the healthy benefits and ease in putting this together. We rolled ours into tortillas and topped with ff sour cream. Even though I used medium-heat salsa rather than mild, we'd prefer a little more bite. So, next time, I'll add a can of green chiles (very Santa Fe-ish) and a sprinkle of cayenne. I also used brown rice, as that's all I ever use. MERP'd in Bargain Basement tag. Thanks southern chef!
