Features:
    Cuisine:

    This is a recipe that I adapted from the Yummy Supper Blog. It's easily adaptable by changing which spices and vegetables to add or what to put on top. Some fresh bruschetta would be great with this variation, or amy be some salsa and avocado with a more southwestern variation with chili powder, corn, bell peppers, and black beans. Easily made vegetarian by omission of chicken.
