    Incredible!
    Both my son and I loved this meal. We don't often eat brown rice so it was a bit harder than I was expecting, but very filling and super tasty! - 2/23/14

    Excellent recipe! Very good flavor. Made a double batch and had leftovers for lunch the next day. Served with baked tortilla chips on the side.
