This is from the new 29 Minutes to Dinner Vol. 2 cookbook!

It's VERY yummy! I did make a few slight changes, but nothing extreme. I didn't have any corn on the cob so I used 2 cups of frozen corn thawed. I also did not have any of our Chipotle Rub, so I used some Mrs. Dash Chipotle spice I had on hand. For fear of it being too hot, I also substituted one can of tomates with green chilles for just tomatoes. It was still pretty spicy and I was glad I cut it back. Next time I will double the sausage it calls for. My guys are big meat eaters and it just wasn't enough. I will also make more rice then what it calls for. I have quite a bit left over, but the rice was completely eaten.

DS didn't like it, no big surprise as he doesn't like most of the things in it, but my BF and I loved it, and I will be making it again!

It was really easy to make, and only took one pan and the rice cooker!

Oh! and I liked it better with my lime wedge squeezed over mine, but my BF liked it better without. We both thought the cilantro was a huge plus to it though!
