Foodie Fiesta
If you’re not in the mood for chicken or don’t have any on hand, try making this recipe with Mexican chorizo. It pairs perfectly with the other ingredients and will add a hint of spice to the finished dish. Beef fajitas or ground beef also work well.
Serve this dish with our Mexican Rice Recipe for an authentic Taco Tuesday meal at home. You could also switch things up by serving this Asian-inspired Microwave Egg Fried Rice on the side. Make things a touch spicier by adding pickled jalapeños or by mixing in a bit of your favorite hot sauce with the tomato sauce.
