UNBELIEVABLE!!! I printed this recipe 5 years ago and never got around to trying it until today. I had NO IDEA what I had been missing! TRULY FANTASTIC! Only change I made was to substitute a red bell pepper for color (instead of the green one). TRY THIS... You won't be sorry!09/09/09

Loved the flavor and easy of preparation, but a little too spicy for me. Part of that may have been my own fault; I think my can of tomatoes and chiles may have been 15 vs 10 oz. I'd like to try making it with regular canned tomato chucks to reduce the heat.08/25/08
