Colorful and delicious dish! I am marking serving sizes for use as an entree, but we also enjoy to serve this as a side by serving them halved. This is based off of a recipe card I picked up in the grocery. Use the salsa of your preferred heat level to adjust it to your taste, or use pepperjack cheese to add some extra zip.
