    This recipe was very good. However, I made a rub with the dry spices and grilled my chicken, then sauteed the vegetables. Also added more spice since we like it that way! We will use this one again! - 5/5/10

    I didn't have any cilantro, and added a tsp of cumin instead of a dash. We both enjoyed it very much, thanks! - 2/19/10

    I just made this. I used a whole chicken breast, and ate it like a burito with salad spinach. It's going on the favorites for sure! The cilantro (fresh) really made this dish! - 4/15/12

    I love this recipe! The spices are like prepackaged spice mixes without all the salt! Very, very good. Similar to Bobby Flay's marinades for fajitas - 4/6/09
