This was a great recipe... with the following modifications:
- I added a lot more spices (2x cumin, garlic salt to taste, 1 tsp fajita seasoning, 1 tsp chili spice).
- Just after splashing the first water, I added about 3 tbsp. fresh-squeezed lime juice.
I ended up eating the whole recipe! - 12/2/09
