I'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious!

This Fiesta Rice is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have leftover chicken after I make a roast chicken and this is a great way to use it up.

This dish is a little spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I just added a little less chili powder next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, but I love this dish anyway. The other flavors are so strong that the cilantro doesn't overpower it.
