Wow - this smells so good while it's cooking! And the flavor lives up to expectations! I used fire roasted diced tomatoes (canned), and paired it with Springtime Spinach Enchiladas. Would be delicious on top of burritos, Spanish rice, and scrambled eggs too. Adapted from Hollyhock Cooks, by the Hollyhock Cooks et al (from care2.com website) [I posted this recipe.]
