Would swap out the kidney beans next time as husband doesn't love them. But otherwise. Very yummy.
0 HelpfulUsed three cups of broth and added an extra teaspoon of coriander and cumin. Lots of chopping but loved the summer veggies and that I could make it ahead while the kids were at school. Best part was the corn and sour cream on top. Delicious
0 HelpfulI loved how few dishes this meal created. Great for a night when I don't want to spend too much time cleaning up.
