EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

For more spice, add 1/2 teaspoon of the adobe sauce from the chipotle chiles.

Instead of white rice, try using brown rice. Cook as directed on package and plan on a little extra time, as brown rice takes longer to cook.

This is NOT a meatless dish if it has chicken broth in it. It sounds like it would be tasty, especially if you use fresh rather than all the canned food in this recipe. And please stop calling it meatless.

Eh, nothing special. Wouldn't make it again. It would have been better with chips for a crunch and sour cream to calm the spice (of which I had neither).
