I love a quick weeknight dinner, especially when the whole family loves it. This dish has tasty Caribbean flavors, and the plantain chips on top are a big hit. We love this with smoked sausage, but it's also delicious with spicy chicken sausage. —Elisabeth Larsen, Pleasant Grove, Utah

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
