Consider this a hefty one-bowl meal with minimum fuss and maximum taste: proof that straightforward and simple can also be delicious and satisfying. You can also add dollops of sour cream. If you want fewer carbs, it’s possible to omit the rice.
Hot stuff
Consider canned chipotle peppers your answer for infusing meals with a wallop of smoky heat. These are smoked and dried jalapenos that are rehydrated and canned along with adobo sauce, a purée of tomato, vinegar, garlic, and other spices. Opened cans will keep in the fridge for several weeks.
