This was delicious and simple! I used the cilantro rice packets from Costco for it. Next time, I will double the Chicken Tinga recipe and freeze it tacos and this recipe. I might add onions to the peppers next time, too.

I'm making this dish this week for the second time. I remember we really loved it the first time! Could go heavier on the bell peppers, though!
