  Absolutely delicious and incredibly easy to make. I enjoyed it so much I've made it for lunch a second week running. Keeps well for a couple of days in the fridge so you can make it the night before.

  I used chipotle tabasco instead of spice, was delicious, even my 3 and 1 year olds loved it.

  This made a tasty quick lunch. Used chargrilled peppers from a jar and only half a lime, but next time will use the whole lime to give it more zing. Needs seasoning well too.

  Used brown rice and a mixture of the spices I had (cumin, chili, paprika, coriander seed). A nice side salad to Mexican food, will be having the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
