I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I really enjoyed this dish. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the rice was cooked perfectly. I especially liked the addition of the sour cream, which helped to cool down the heat.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder and cumin. The beef and rice were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were crisp and flavorful.
