Notes
Seasoning: If you have some taco seasoning, skip the individual seasonings and use a generous tablespoon of taco or fajita seasoning.
Rice: You can serve this with any rice you like. I like to use cilantro-lime instant rice cups that cook in the microwave. Or try my easy cilantro-lime rice recipe.
