If you like mexican food (like my Kevin does), this is a very tasty, flavorsome dish!

This sounds like the perfect dish to make for daddy and Caleb and I this winter. I am not crazy about Mexican food but this is something that I would like very much. Lovely presentation also.

Katie, I thought the same thing. I wanted to make it tonight. The only problem is that I just made a big crock pot full of beans that we are eating on. Candace, this looks like a fabulous recipe. It is similar to another recipe that I have, but you use soft corn tortillas in it and peppers.
