    This stuff is great! Tasty and filling with a bit of a kick. You can ramp up (or down) the spiciness to meet your tastebuds. I usually add a few chilies in adobo sauce. - 11/6/14

    Made mine during covid, when we hadn't gone to the store in a while, so was pantry staples (no onions, alas, & canned chilies instead of bell peppers & zucchini); also made mine in a slow cooker - 9/8/20
