Easy and tasty!
I made this today for me, my husband and a guest. It was easy, and very tasty. And also very filling. Great dinner option.

yummy!
Even my husband enjoyed this recipe. It was a little spicy for me, but perfect for him. The sweet salsa was great & will probably use for other dishes as well. It was a different flavor for us, but very good.
