Well this was pretty darn good, especially considering it took about 5 minutes to fix.

I followed the spice measurements exactly and it came out *very* spicy; still not sure if that was the Rotel tomatoes or the chipotle chile pepper, which I had never tried. But like I said, yummy; both dh and I liked it enough to repeat it, and I'm pretty picky that way.

Not sure how I missed this one. The recipe looks pretty basic, but good for quick weeknight meals. Probably also great with chix, shrimp or pork. Thanks for the review.

Had this tonight with some sauteed pattypan squash with red peppers and cilantro.

This was GREAT!!! DH said we WILL have this again. Just a hair spicy for me, but a nice heat, not burning. An excellent blend of spices. He wants to make a larger portion of the rub to use on other meats/seafood. I agree with Susan, it would be really good on shrimp.

I doctored up the rice a bit, added some cumin and cilantro. We both agreed that the rub mixture produced too much to put on 1.28 lbs of steak, maybe drop it back a bit. (Save some for later! :p )

According to him, a definite repeater! One great dinner!:D

Edited to add: The lime juice is a MUST!!! Finishes it quite nicely!

We thought this was pretty good. It was spicy, but not too much for us. It was surely easy and fast. I don't know if I would repeat this one or not, too many great recipes out there to do a "pretty good" again.

We used this spice rub on some carne asada we grilled for tacos....it was very good also! In fact we quadrupled the recipe to keep it on hand. Good stuff!

How did I miss this one? Going on the menu next week with brown rice (and x-tra spicy rotel!). Thanks for the review.
