My neighbor and buddy across the street introduced me to this recipe. She always makes good grub. It is very tasty, minimal effort, and great for company because of the quantity. I put leftovers in flour tortillas with assorted toppings for a second meal. -
Very good! Has a definite southwestern flavor, maybe moreso as I marinated it all day. A big hit at our house... served with rice and Barefoot Contessa corn salad to round out the southwestern side.
