My family loved this dinner. I added onion powder with the spices and add sour cream, chopped tomato, chopped jalapeno, chopped lettuce, chopped avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese on top also poured some cilantro lime avocado dressing, the recipe is on the diabetes food hub.

Love this recipe! I substitute a jar of salsa for the tomatoes, so much more flavor and I do serve it with low fat sour cream. Yum ???? so easy to prepare so it’s a go to recipe at least once a week!

We loved this one, will definitely make again
-
The recipe is overall ok. I think, as in another review, that it could use onion, a lil bit of salsa and a lil low fat sour cream. I will make again none the less.

This dish was great. My bf and I really enjoyed it. I will be making this dish again.

Delicious! We didn’t like the fire roasted tomatoes too much though so I started using healthy salsa instead and that gave it the more complex taste we wanted. My whole family loves it! We also serve it with light sour cream.
