  • “Made this tonight to go with Margarita grilled chicken and it was fantastic!I chopped up a small jalapeño to go in it also, to give it more kick.The whole family loved it.”

  • “This was so good and quick to get to the table!I added a bit more chili powder so it could have more of a kick, this one is a keeper :)”

  • “This is a great tasting recipe!Make it all the time just as listed EXCEPT I use 1 can of Rotel tomatoes with chilies instead of the reg.canned tomatoes.. & V8 for the juice.Excellent Flavor and quite healthy!”

  • “This was okay, but a bit strong for my taste.”

  • “This is a great recipe.I also used tomatoes and green chilies in place of the onion and green bell pepper.We loved it.Thanks for sharing.”

  • “I made it the first time and it was perfect. But I changed the whole tomatoes and chopped green bell peppers to diced tomatoes and mild green chilies instead.It was so good, everyone loved it.This is a versatile dish because you can use any type of cooked rice.”

  • “Awesome!Even easier and much better than rice a roni spanish rice.I used leftover rice from another meal and instead of tomato juice, I used tomato sauce.It was really yummy and soooo quick.Thanks for the recipe!”

  • “Great!I was out of tomato juice, but added chicken broth instead.Delicious mixture and balance of spices.Thank you!”

  • “I am totally addicted to this!I did change to red peppers as I do not like green peppers and stewed tomatoes because that is what I had on hand.I also added 1/4 teaspoon of cumin and low sodium V8 for the tomato juice.I used Uncle Ben’s cooked brown rice so this makes for a very quick meal.I had to make a second batch it was so good.”

  • “What ingredient is 1/2 teaspoon after the green bell peppers?”
