This is that dinner you will want to make on a regular basis. It takes 30 minutes and you can serve it so many different ways. In tacos, burritos, bowls or salads.
You could also leave it in the skillet, load it up with avocado, cilantro & limes and serve this at a party with a side of chips!

Made this for dinner and it was so delicious and easy to make! I didn’t have chipotle peppers so I used a combination of tomato purée and smoked paprika and it tasted great. Looking forward to trying more of your recipes!

This sounds really good, but I have one question. Is it 1.5 cups already cooked rice, or 1.5 cups uncooked rice, cooked? I'm thinking it's already cooked rice, because I don't see any water in the recipe for the raw rice to cook in.
1.5 cups uncooked rice would make 3 cups rice or more, which seems to be too much rice for the dish.
Thanks for any help.
Rene
You are correct it is 1.5 cups of cooked rice 👍

This sounds delish, but is it very spicy? I can't tolerate very much spice because of the capsaicin, which i have a reaction to. Is there a way i could tone it down, i would love to make this!!
Rene
I would omit the jalapeno and use a mild taco seasoning. The chipotle pepper adds more of a smokey flavor, but if you are super sensitive to heat, then I would swap the chipotle pepper for some smoked paprika!

Simple, colorful and delicious. I didn't have the chipotle in adobo when I first made it but it was still excellent!

i loved the sound of this recipe--the yummy ingredients and the ease of preparation. i'm not vegan or even vegetarian, so i was planning on putting rotisserie chix with it! i forgot to bring a list of what i needed to the grocery store, but alas it mattered not--i think the only thing i forgot was salsa & a bell pepper. this was so fantastic that i'm inviting my vegan friend over for dinner tonight & can't wait to serve this! (sans rotisserie chix, of course!) thank you!
Rene
Yay! So glad it was a hit!

This recipe was so delicious. We ate it just in a bowl topped with avocado but it would make a really yummy burrito or taco filling. This is going in the rotation for sure, thank you!
Rene
Yum - anything with avocado you can count me in 🙂 So glad you liked it!
