Hmm - kind of bummed.

Thought this might be something like "American Pie" :)



Seriously remove the olives, cottage cheese and bell peppers and you might have something... Guess you could use a smaller amount of Jalepenos instead of bell peppers and it would be good.

Bell Peppers make me sick and there are lots of things I dont like so I have learned to substiture stuff I do like. :)

You could add blanched spinach and/or diced carrots for some added nutrition. It will taste good even if its not very mexican.

Oh yeah - and removing cottage cheese means add shredded jack or motzarella to replace it.
