Loved this recipe. I added a jalepeno pepper, red pepper flakes and cumin for some kick. So good! Will definately make again.

We loved it as a family. It was quick, and affordable to make. We added some ham cubes into it and very little salt. Other then that I did excatly what it called for and will make it again.

The first time I made this there was not a lot of flavor. I altered the recipe (did not use the green chiles or cilantro and added onions & cayenne pepper) and my husband loved it. I also used a 4-blend cheese. I tried topping it with salsa but my husband wasn't too thrilled although I liked it.

I absolutely love this recepie I make it once a week. I adjusted a few things though, I don't add the cheese or the cilantro and everyone loves it!!!

It was lacking in flavor and tasted very much like a watered down Spanish Rice side dish. Our family didn't like this dish whatsoever.

This is one of my favorites!! I make mine with zucchini cause my husband doesn't like grn peppers. The leftovers don't last very long.

I liked this recipe. I added some onion, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and cumin and left out the cilantro. It had a great flavor.

While this recipe isn't as spicy as the title suggests, it is one of my favorite recipes and I make it quite often. It's very simple to make and overall a fairly nutritious dish.

So easy to make, and absolutely delicious. I added a pinch of cumin and chili powder to give it more of a kick and it turned out great.

this meal was great but i added some leftover chicken breast and leftover corn about 1/4 cup fat free sour cream i dont think it added too many extra calories and it was good !! my kids asked for seconds , and this was very inexpensive , i enjoy finding healthy maels that fit my small budget
