Love this and has the perfect spice. I added some zucchini, squash, carrot, and celery to the dish to add in some veggies, and a touch of rice because why not! SO good.
Love those additions!
Hi, made this last night! It was delicious but a tad too spicy for my kids. Should I use regular chili powder next time as opposed to chipotle chili? Or do you think it was the jalapeño? I would think jalapeño would get mild from cooking so assuming it was chipotle powder.
