    Love this recipe! I have a picky eater at my house and he loved it too! I changed things a little... I grilled all the veggies (used red, green and yellow bell peppers added some grilled corn on the cob, skipped the potatoes and added black beans and Mexican rice. I also added a sour cream and salsa mixture (1/2 of each mixed together. Yummy! The marinade turned out great but next time I will add more jalepenos just to spice it up more.
