It could not be faster or easier and it's very inexpensive. We took our salsa rice recipe and just added to it and the result is very tasty. We have eaten this all 3 of the suggested ways but our favorite is to spoon it into a nice warm home made flour tortilla and eat it like a burrito .. delicious ! He likes to add a dab of sour cream and I like to add a few black olive slices. Add what you like and make it your own !
