The nice thing about making your own curry paste is that like anything homemade, not only is it far fresher than anything store-bought, but it is also completely customizable. This really makes a difference when it comes to heat level. I consider this recipe as written to be about a “medium” heat level. For “mild” omit the jalapenos, and for “hot” use 3 jalapenos and add 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (or to taste).

Quite possibly one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. Imagine if you will, plunging your spoon through a crispy layer of caramelized sugar to expose a silky layer of frozen creme brulee ice cream beneath. Oh yea baby, this recipe is worth every single calorie-laden bite. Break out the kitchen torch! Your family and friends are going to flip over this one.

I made this last week and my husband and I really enjoyed it.

This was excellent. We left out the corn since I can’t eat it, and added a can of diced green chilies. Ate it with slices of avo and sour cream on top. I ate more the next day in a quesadilla.

Delicious! Next time though, I will use frozen rather than canned corn for better flavor. We put it in flour tortillas & ate burrito style- yum! And so very easy.

This was very good. We ate it with crushed doritoes, sour cream, and cilantro. I will definately be making it again.

A big hit and SO easy! We ate it with sliced avocado and sour cream. I’m looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch today!

Served this at a work potluck – placed fiesta rice in a pretty platter surrounded by tortilla chips with sour crean and other fixings. Was a HUGE hit! Definitely will make this again,

Made this last night and it is a keeper. My 1yr loved it too. I of course planned to make it and forgot it was a slow cooker recipie until 5:00 pm so I diced my chicken mixed everything (except rice) together really well and baked at 400 for 45 min. It was still really good next time I will remember to make in slow cooker. I am going to go eat some leftovers right now.

Made this tonight and it was delicious! Will be making this again for sure!

Easy and very good. I used mine as a taco filling. I only used one large chicken breast and it made a ton! I may end up making taquitos with the leftovers.
