Tasty
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These were quite good, I will make them again. Used jalapenoes from my garden as hubby can't handle the hotter peppers. ... Served them with the Mombo Rice. Cut the rice down and added black beans, corn and tomatoes. Read more

FYI
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Scotch Bonnet peppers are not the same thing as a habanero pepper, although they are closely related. It is hard to find... Scotch Bonnet peppers here so absolutely try substituting a habanero pepper or if you don't care for the heat, go for a jalapeno. Scotch Bonnet peppers are extremely hot! Beware!Read more

So yummy! Great party food!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We made this for the 4th! It was fantastic. I was a little scared of the mango salsa but I made it and it was fantastic. ... We fixed the entire meal. The rice was great. We are having a birthday party/ house warming later this month and plan to fix this. I wouldn't change anything. This was so quick and easy that I could even make it after I injured my knee.Read more
