PVS, that sounds so delicious, even first thing in the morning! We are craving Mexican food, so I will have to try to get all the ingredients for this...I love these "one-dish" meals, especially in this cold winter we are having!

We tried this on Friday night and it was a HUGE hit! We couldn't find the adobo sauce so we used something else. But it was fantastic and breakfast for my husband on sat morning. :-)
