I made this one for Sunday night dinner after a long weekend of eating because I wanted something light and filling (and easy to make). My husband loved it and even asked to take the leftovers to work the next day. I did add some mozarella on top and avocado which was really delicious. It’s definitely a nice a side dish for a weekly dinner or an easy lunch if you combine with cheese and few slices of avocado.
