I tried your recipe today because I surprisingly had all of the ingredients. Since you noted the eggplant was optional I decided to leave it out and substitute some smoked chicken I had made over the weekend. They turned out delicious. My wife was nervous about it but she loved it also (she’s very picky). The only other different thing we did was to grill the cubed veggies on a perforated grill sheet outside. I had also thought to make it easy you could grill the veggies almost whole and then cube them. Maybe just cut them in half so they didn’t fall through the grill.

Thank you for such a great recipe. I wanted to let others know they should not be afraid to change things around. As long as you have the cilantro lime rice and the beans as a foundation you can put almost anything in this dish.

Try this recipe you can’t go wrong. Just be sure to have all of the toppings because there’s something magic about all the sour cream and cheese on top.
