First we used lean thinly sliced beef, and then we used small red, orange and yellow peppers-enough to be the equivalent of one pepper. This is a quick meal-which is a plus. If it weren't for the fresh cilantro, it wouldn't have had much flavor, and it did not look very appetizing. The kids were not sold. It was not a horrible meal and we will use it when we need a very quick economical meal.
