It was excellent. I make dinner every Saturday evening for usually 8 folks. This was first time made and it's definitely staying on the rotation to make again.The small one in the photo is my "minny me" personal one. 😎

So easy and delicious! Great for leftover rice and frozen leftover rotisserie chicken. I did change it a bit. Did not use scallions or the added salt, and only had 2 cups of salsa in the house. Used 1/4 finely chopped yellow onion and added a whole chopped green bell pepper, about a cup of frozen corn, a can of drained black beans, and a small can of mild chopped jalapeños. Other than that the recipe was the same! Served with sour cream on top.

It was good I added corn and instead of using all the seasoning I just put a pkg of taco seasoning with it. It was really easy and quick. Will do again

Was ok, kind of tasted like a enchilada, not my favorite, little chance of marking again.

I have made this countless times! I’ve landed on a couple permanent tweaks to make this how my family likes it: add a diced green pepper, a small tin of green chilies, and a cup of frozen corn. I think it would be great with black beans too!

Excellent! I substituted pork for chicken. The dish was a hit with the whole family (even the pickiest of eaters).
