    Good
    I cut out the jalapenos and cut the rice in half. Froze in individual servings because the men don't care for it.

    Very Good
    It was a really good recipe, I left out the jalapeño so it wasn’t over the top spicy. Will definitely try again, especially when not feeling top notch as it clears out the sinuses - 11/3/20

    Incredible!
    My girlfriend and I were looking for a high protein/low fat recipe that we could eat once we started weightlifting and this is perfect. We've made this many many times over the past few years and have always loved it. - 5/28/20

    Good
    Great recipe. I made all 6 servings and froze the others so I had meals ready to go. I cut out the rice to make it a low carbohydrate meal as I think you get plenty of carbs from the diced tomatos, tomato paste, and vegetables. Good recipe though. I think you will enjoy it. - 1/24/12
