I used 3 bouillon cubes instead of the powder and a little extra cumin and this was a very nice change from rice. Thanks! - 26 Nov 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This is a good starter recipe. Needs a little more flavor. A little adobo powder would be a great addition. - 03 Sep 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This was a good change of pace for side dish on Mexican night; however, I agree with the reviewers who say it needs more spice. I forgot to add some adobe powder as suggested and will give that a try. - 31 Jan 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
