This is a super quick meal that I make quite often because it is protein packed and tastes very fresh. Not only is it good by itself, but you can serve it over rice for carbs. It is also good wrapped in a tortilla with chilled tomatoes, avocado, shredded cheese and sour cream. But like I said, I like it as is served in a bowl and eaten with a spoon. You will love the fresh flavor.
