Oh my gosh, these are fantastic!! I could not find the McCormick smoky sweet pepper blend..I guess it has been discontinued. I make my own chili seasoning mix so I used that, but I am sure you could use your favorite chili mix or taco or burrito seasoning mix. I really like quinoa and it makes a great alternative to meat so you can have a meatless meal every once in a while! So good!!
Enjoy!
