I served this recipe with flour tortillas and refried beans. Excellent, but needs a little something extra Submitted Date: October 2002 Rating:      Reviewed By: Jennifer Liss from Longmont, CO Comments: This was so easy to make and really good. I do however think the sauce just needs a little bit extra zip. Next time I make it I'll add some ground cumin. Otherwise, it's a great recipe and will be added to the list of regulars at our house.

I had a little heavy cream in the fridge and thought that I would add a little to the pan, and that didn't work too well. I ended up making the cream too thick. I added milk and got the consistency back to where it should be.
