    I bought ingredients based on the ingredient list, then when making this I saw I was supposed to add bell pepper - which was not listed in the ingredients so I didn't buy it. I'll know better next time.

    Too much cumin, I'd cut it down to 1/2 tbsp

    @Adria, I suggest adding bell peppers and cayenne for heat. @Sheri, I agree about the cumin. I'm going to adjust the amount to 1 teaspoon in the directions. @Aida, I don't see bell peppers in the ingredient list, but they would be a great addition. You could also add some fresh jalapeno for extra heat.

    My husband and I really enjoyed this dish, however we thought it had a spicy kick. Next time I will mix in a dollop of sour cream to help tone it down. adds a nice flavor/texture to it too.

    Hi Cheryl, yes sour cream would be a great addition to this dish! Next time you could use a 'mild' version of the can diced tomatoes with green chilies or just use canned tomatoes if the heat really bothers you. Also the cumin adds a bit of smoky flavor that bothers some so you may want to take it down to 1/2 a teaspoon.

    For added spice you could add a minced fresh seeded jalapeno or serrano pepper, cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes.
