With only 365 calories per serving and a record 30 minute prep time, its sure to be a real keeper!


Personal Notes: This was the second time I have prepared this meal I absolutely love it. It is a vegetarian dish that is still full of flavor. The chipotle chiles in adobo sauce is the real secret to this entrée. I have been known to add a little extra sauce to the mix for an even spicier version. Since the recipe only calls for one chile you will have many more chiles to play with. Be resourceful and make your own chipotle mayonnaise, spicy sour cream dip, or even Purée the leftovers and freeze in ice cube trays for future use. As for my rating of this dish, I give it a 10 out of 10 for perfection. Salud!
