Quick and easy! I doubled this for my Mexican-food-loving family. I used one large onion two cloves garlic left over chopped chicken one can pinto and one can black beans one can diced tomatoes with green chilies and spices and one can regular diced tomatoes two cans corn two cans diced green chilies about a T of chilies powder and half a packet for f fajita mix. Cooked Mexican rice separately. Serve rice on the bottom top with chicken mixture garnish with cheese sour cream green onion and cilantro. Yum! Had it all done in less than 30 minutes. Read More

I doubled this for my family of 5 (2 adults 3 kids)and had no left overs. I did substitute due to the fact my grocery store was limited so I grabbed the closest thing. I used a can of pinto bean and the pinto beans with the chili sauce (loads of extra flavor!). Instead of 14 total ounces of the green Chile s I used half which was 2 of the smaller cans. For the tomatoes I used a 10 oz can of fire roasted rotel and regular fire roasted tomatoes in the 14 oz can. I totally forgot to thaw the chicken the day before so I defrosted a little over 2 lbs of frozen chicken in the microwave right before cooking and it came out to a little over 4.5 cups when I chopped it up. I seasoned the raw chicken with the homemade seasoning salt recipe from AR. I also did not cook the chicken until I got to the step in the recipe...OOPS! I cooked it through and then proceed with the rest. Overall very filling easy and cheap. It was delicious and my picky eaters loved it. They said I needed to put it on my make again list lol. This would be a good filling for tortillas also. I added cheese to the final product and a tablespoon or 2 of sour cream. We also really enjoyed the corn! I ll probably add 3 cups next time this is made. Read More

I didn't have corn or Mexican rice. Instead I made regular rice with the dish and added more salt and homemade taco seasoning with lots of shredded chicken. It was awesome! Made for a wonderful burrito too! Will definitely make again! Read More
