One Dish Delish Mexicana Chickana

One Dish Delish, time! This easy-peasy meal is so full of flavor and soo absurdly easy to make, you'll wonder why you can't make it for breakfast, lunch, and midnight snacks, too. It's healthy, full of real-food flavors, and positively delightful when dished onto a plate. If you're eating Paleo, nixaroo the cheese. If you're not, serve this sucker with cornbread and make your life magic.
