This dish was very savory and tasteful, also very easy to make. I loved it. However, it is not for tender tongues. The green chilies with the tomatoes that it calls for really add a punch and in leftovers the heat factor is somehow intensified, maybe even overpowering. I would definitely make it again, more than likely however without the green chilies and perhaps substituting with shrimp. Though this recipe tastes great with the crawfish processing them was a little time consuming. Shrimp would work better if you were in a rush.

This is very quick and very easy to make, total cook and prep time was only about 45 minutes. It had a wonderful tatse and wasn't too spicy. I will make this again.
