Sweating down the onions and added two cans of Rotel. I KNOW! No Tomatoes according to many but believe me this gives it a nice kick.

Not that it matters really but with all the meat in there the Rotel did NOT take away from the savory traditional flavor. It added a little color and a different spicy kick. I assure you if I put a bowl of this in front of you that you would eat it and ask for more.
Some just seem to think that tradition can't be improved upon! The only reason Cajuns didn't put tomatoes in it from the very beginning is probably because it was created during a season when tomatoes weren't available. You KNOW that they would add just about anything that would improve or stretch a meal.

Tomatoes, especially Mexican canned tomatoes, have no place in a jambalaya, gumbo or etouffee
