This healthy and flavorful dish is always a hit when I serve it and one of my daughter’s favorites. I’ll pack it in her school lunch when there are leftovers. It goes well with any of your favorite Mexican dishes. It is also great to bring to a cookout since it is safe to sit out in the hot sun, plus it really compliments burgers, chicken or whatever is being grilled. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled which I recommend when feeding a crowd. Comes together in only about 10 minutes.
