Very tasty, my husband even liked it and he usually only likes the same old sloppy Joe recipe. I added the pickled jalapenos and guacamole slices to mine and loved it.

I didn't like it....sorry! I love some of the other recipes she creates but this one wasn't my fave. I didn't put the carrots or corn because my hubby doesn't like that sort of thing...I only used one jalapeno and that was plenty spicy. Like I said, my hubby loved it and cleaned out the pan. I didn't care for it...won't stop me from using Mexican Made Easy recipes, though!

It was pretty mild considering 2 chopped jalapenos were added. But it is still flavorful with the thyme, oregano and bay leaf. We used it with guacamole for burritos or a salad. I really liked the simplicity and versatility of this dish; you can add more if you like spicy or leave as is. This will be a go-to recipe for daily meals because I usually have all these ingredients on hand. Thank you, Marcela!
