Excellent, excellent recipe. I added a touch more chili powder and substituted buttermilk for the evaporated because that's what I had. I cut out the oil and did the sauteing with a quick Pam spritz, and also used water instead of broth (again.. what I had). It is unspeakably delicious, I have a bunch left and I'm looking forward to having it again tonight! The only thing I'd change is to increase the chili pepper for added spiciness but I like it hot! I served it over plain fluffy quinoa with some shredded Mexican-style cheese.
