I got the idea for this recipe is from Trader Joe's, but made several changes to suit our taste preferences. I've prepared it a few times now, and it a has become a family favorite that I'm quite frequently requested to make again. I usually serve it with Mexican rice and a few slices of avocado on the side. But you can also serve it with plain white rice (and use some of the melted topping to flavor the rice a bit). It's great with a dollop of sour cream or guacamole on top, too.
