Very good! This is a keeper! We did not add chicken, but I think that would be a great addition.

Delicious! I didn't have a red onion so I used a regular one and I also added a jalapeno pepper for more flavor. This was a very tasty dish. I served this with recipe#380918#380918, recipe#219944#219944 and recipe#410928#410928. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I will definately make this again. Made for SPRING PAC 2010.

This was excellent. I didn't have the red onions or the olives so I left them out. Really yummy.

I really liked this recipe. I made as posted, except I used 2 cups of brown rice that was already cooked, and I added cooked shredded chicken breast. Thanks for posting.

This was really good. Love the flavors together. I added a large Jalapeno pepper and left out the olives for personal preference, and used cheddar cheese and a mix of Coby and Monterey Jack cheese for the top, which was what I had. Makes a huge amount. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Fall 08
