This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the crunchy pecans and the sweet carrots. They don't even realize that they're eating healthy vegetables.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less chili powder next time. However, the rice was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were tender. I would make this again, but I would adjust the amount of chili powder.
