    A good recipe but I recommend 2 tsp of ground cummin powder when you add the chilli powder as otherwise this recipe tastes flat. This is Mexican after all! Also remember to add plenty of salt and pepper. The cummin really brings out the flavour, everything else in this dish is perfect and its easy.
