Great recipe! I had to do a few substitutions. I didn't have rice used 1/2 box rice mix without the seasoning, then had some frozen corn blend instead of corn and black beans, for everything is in the mixture. Turned out really tasty. Definitely will make again.

My husband and I both loved this recipe. We both like how easy it is to prepare! The Southwest flavor is good but not to hot. I am giving some to my parents to try to see if they like it as much as we do. My mom is pretty picky! :)
