I love creating flavor memories with this Cinco De Mayo inspired recipe. I used McCormick's Salt Free Garlic Pepper to flavor my brown rice, Salt Free Southewst Sweet and Smokey for chicken and Chipotle Chili Pepper for more heat to my sauce. That's my flavor story, share yours at www.flavoroftogether.com
