We made this tonight as a side for our tacos. I followed the directions exactly. I agree with a previous reviewer who said it seems like it's missing something...it's got the heat but not necessarily the spice (maybe next time I will try adding some taco seasoning or something). It was good, and I'm planning on trying again and seeing if I can figure out what type of spice it needs to take it over the top for our family. It was definitely quick and easy and I appreciate that it only requires a couple of ingredients. Thanks for posting!!!!

Very easy and very flavourful, we enjoyed this quickly made dish, I served it with shrimp but very versatile, could go with any number of dishes! Thank you Charmie, a lovely dish and ideal for midweek suppers! Made for Family Picks, ZWT5, Jammin' Java Jivers

We loved this with our mexican themed supper last night. I cooked the rice in 2 cups of vegetable broth. I also added a drained rinsed can of black beans and a drained can of chopped green chiles. I think we'll be having this as a regular part of any Mexican meals! Thanks.
