This was soo delish and tasty! I followed the recipe EXACTLY, and then added my own ingredients to make it my own and to my liking. I added goya sazon (coriander & annatto garlic powder, and about 4 tbls of tomato sauce to this recipe and it was outstanding. I also added just a bit more ground cumin. The flavors and aromas blended beautifully together! The flavor? FANTASTIC!!!! Can't wait to make it again.This will be a new staple in my home!!! YUM!!!!!!!
