    I have been on a southwestern kick lately. I just love the combination of spices and healthy ingredients. And when the Our Dinner Table Group opted for simple stir fry I just had to give the basic stir fry a southwestern twist (translation, it was what was in the house).

    This is a great last minute dinner to throw together with what you have on hand in the pantry and freezer. You can serve it in tortillas as a burrito or maybe with some Spanish Rice if desired, but it is pretty awesome just like this.
