I plan to make this tomorrow, but when I do I will be using fresh red pepper, regular corn, brown rice, and chicken breasts. It sounds amazing, relatively easy, and it is healthy!  It would also be delicious wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla. I love anything mexican that I can spice up and enjoy like my San Diego roots! ;]

Eating healthy certainly doesn't have to mean eating boring!!
