    This is a really good recipe. Tasty and I love all the protein I get without meat. Lots of fiber, too. Can you get any healthier? - 9/28/09

    I made this for lunch today. The flavour is amazing! I am individually freezing the remaining 7 servings, rice in separate containers, for future use. I will definitely make this health-conscious, tasty recipe again. Thank-you for sharing it! - 3/14/10

    My husband and I both loved this dish! We had to make a few substitutions (salsa instead of tomatoes and onions, and black and red beans) because of our pantry inventory, but it turned out excellent! - 1/21/08
