Although this isn't an authentic Mexican recipe, it would be hard to fault as a made up recipe due to it's flavours. Best all this is a very easy recipe to make, it can be frozen if you have any leftovers that is.. although that's very rare in our house.

This looks so hearty and flavorful! And perfect for a cold rainy night. I might make it tonight...if I can get myself to go to the grocery market in this weather!
