Summary
This is one of those dishes I like to just whip up for dinner. It's kind of like a Mexican stir fry. You can add meat if you want to. I usually useingredients I have on hand.
Serve with black beans for a healthy, high protein meal.

This is a simple and healthy meal; great as a substitute for pizza night! Not real kid friendly, but if you whip up some beans, you can make bean burritos for the kids while you have something healthy.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
