Join the discussionI feel confused by this recipe. It doesn’t have all of the ingredients in the list. It also mentions sausage in the directions, but there is no sausage in this recipe or the add on recipe that goes with it.
Alexis, I’m sorry you’re confused. I have double checked the recipe, and it seems that all listed ingredients are located in the recipe. The sausage it is referring to is the Chicken Chorizo. Chorizo is a type of sausage. Hope that helps!
I also only see the cheddar cheese listed, but nothing else in the ingredient list.
Heather,We are sorry for the confusion and problems with the website. We are working to get the ingredient lists back up and running. They are working in our Recipe Cards through our system, they just aren’t showing on the blog posts and some web pages.Thanks.

Delicious! I substituted 1 t. chili powder for the red pepper flakes. It was loved by all! Topped ours with cilantro and offered sides of low fat sour cream/yogurt mix and Costco lemon poppyseed kale salad. I only wish I had those beautiful avocado slices in the picture!
Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Is the rice supposed to be cooked or UN cooked beforehand? The recipe reads “cook”, but when it states that you add the rice followed by broth and then bring it to a boil and then simmer it seems that it would be more likely to be uncooked rice that is added so that it is cooked in the broth. can you clarify this? Thank you!
Nichole, we have made some updates to this recipe which will be reflected on the site in the next 24 hours. If you are cooking right now though, you will use precooked rice, but you will OMIT the chicken broth. You will simply combine all of the ingredients and cook until it is warmed through instead of simmering the rice in the pan. You will see all of these changes updated tomorrow on the site. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
