Note:Sometimes I put a layer of mexican rice (try recipe #117892) or orzo flavored with some cumin in the bottom of the bowl before assembling. A one dish meal and you have only one barely dirty skillet to clean!

Note:Sometimes I make this just for myself. Fry fish-pour a little sauce-add a TBS of chilis- sprinkle some cheese. It's not brain surgery or rocket science. Save what's left in the cans for another use like adding to scrambled eggs. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as I have for many years.
