Used different ingredients. This is delicious and unique! I love the combination of zuchinni, beans, and corn. I omitted the poblano and added about 1 tsp. of ground cumin and 1 tsp. of chilli powder to perk up the flavours. I served with low-fat cheddar cheese and taco sauce. I can't wait to have this again!! - 29 Sep 2008
Used different ingredients. Very good side dish recipe. I substituted canned green chillies for the poblano and added some chilli powder. A new favourite! - 29 Sep 2008
Used different ingredients. Good starter recipe. Needs more flavour!!!! I added some garlic and pepper, and still felt it needed a little extra something. Really good recipe to play around with and make it your own. Thanks. - 29 Sep 2008
