I like spicy food and this had plenty of taste. I was pleasantly surprised. Of course I stopped it off with hot sauce, but heck that's normal.

There wasn't anything bad or offensive about this recipe, it just wasn't anything really special. I followed the recipe exactly and found the result to be somewhat bland. And I don't even like my food spicy, so for me it wasn't a problem of a lack of spice. Just lack of flavor. Although my boyfriend liked it better than I did, I probably will not make it again. It's not worth the effort.
