OUTSTANDING!! And better yet....EASY. The only change I made, I used 1/2 cup rice, instead of 1/4 cup (because someone mentioned in a earlier review that it was a little soupy). With that change, it wasn't soupy at all, and everyone loved it!

I tried this recipe last week and it was a hit with very picky eaters! I added a little salt and pepper and it came out yummy. I do suggest to add a little sour cream and salsa at the moment of serving to give it another layer of flavor but on its own its still very good and leftovers are better than the day before. I will prepare this recipe again!
