I really enjoyed this super easy meal but unlike the other reviewer, I did not add the spice until the end because my dining companion does not like spice. So I did not use up even a fraction of the southwest spice packet. I rarely use the entire spice packet of any meal prep service because even though I enjoy spice, I often find that I need to test the dish myself while cooking. In this case, I could add about one or two teaspoons to my own dish easily and just mix it in while my companion had a spiceless version with just some garlic salt. I will definitely order this again.
Very tasty and filling - probably could have saved 20% for leftovers. We are adding this to our regular rotation; however I am glad we read the other reviews first.
You need to know:
1. Use spice only to taste. Do NOT pour it all in. We used less than a quarter of it: some in the pan and some stirred into the sour cream.
2. Cook the rice as directed. Ignore the microwave bowl and its “vent” sticker.
3. We toasted some tortillas to go with the dish.
4. We skipped the Frank’s Red Hot as the natural spice blend was enough heat.
This meal was yummy but not memorable. It could use more corn and more pico. I took everyone's advice and used just half of the spices and recommended salt (half a teaspoon instead of a full teaspoon). I also added a green bell pepper I had lying around. It probably would have tasted better if I had just added some chopped garlic or jalapeño instead. I think we would have enjoyed this more if the size of the pico de gallo was doubled. The premade portion they give is just big enough for one serving.
That capsicum burn sitting on the middle of your tongue and inside the corners of your mouth... just a little bit much. Yes, we used the entire spice blend package. What did we know. Still enjoyed the meal, and we'll just tweak it a bit next time.
Tina what did you like: The simplicity of preparing the meal, healthy ingredients, the vegetarian aspect, and the portions. I didn't like the waste created due to the packaging, spicy the spicy too spicy, and it was a little dry. (Don't tell her maybe the cook had something to do with that.)
Eric what did you like: Tasty. What can improve is to split the spice pkg into 2, and add vegetable stock for juice. (We can do this ourselves).
Enjoy!
Really easy to make and pretty tasty, but this is WAY spicy for most people. I love spicy food, but my husband was practically dying as he attempted to eat it. Maybe knock back the spice a bit?
