    • Melissa Hadfield

      Hey Christine, If you click on the “magic” button at the bottom of the recipe it will give you all the nutritional information. The entire recipe has 1,075 calories, so depending on how many servings you do will depend on the caloric amount. If you have 4 large servings there will be about 264 calories, if you do 6 servings there will be 179. Hope this helps! Thanks for stopping by!!ReplyCancel

    This was a very quick, easy, and surprisingly delicious meal. Even my picky 5 year old nephew gobbled dinner up in record time! Definitely a keeper 🙂ReplyCancel

  • […] Camille’s recipe is excellent, but you’ll notice it calls for some fresh ingredients like cilantro, limes, and avocados. This meal is just fine without those toppings. (You can add bottled lime juice and dried cilantro if you like.) Substituting canned diced tomatoes for the fresh tomatoes is also just fine; I do it all the time. […]ReplyCancel
