I just made this for the first time and I will definitely be making this many times in the future!! I couldn't find the particular brand of salsa it calls for; so I used another one that contained cilantro. I also used a green pepper instead of red. It is delicious even without giving it time to marinate! I can't wait for dinner tonight!!

This was a really good quick and east receipe. I didn'y use any salt or olives to cut down on sodium and it still tasted great. I also added a little Chipotle Tabasco to give it a little extra spice!
