Not authentic but good

This recipe was pretty good. I would definitely make it again for a quick weeknight supper. After returning from Jamaica recently, however, it is hardly authentic flavor. Still good though!

I love this recipe! It's fast, easy, and very tasty. I'm not the best cook in the world but this is simple even for me.

Simple and delish

I made this last night, super easy and quick. I couldn't find peppers and onions together in my store so I used a fresh onion and sauted them first in a non-stick sprayed with a little extra virgin olive oil and continued with the recipe. I was worried about the spiceyness (my daughter is picky about spice) but we all loved it. Thank you for a healthy quick meal.
