Did not have any cotija cheese so substituted a hard dry cheese that I had on hand. Forgot to put the shredded monterey jack on and it was still very good. Will keep in my favorites file! Read More

4.5 Stars: This was different and very good. I served with the broken pasta found in the Hispanic section. My husband suggested a rice/pasta mix for a little more texture. All in all a surprisingly good (and easy) dish. Read More

Made this the other night for my husband and one of his friends...all I can say is completely clean plates!:) All they could talk about was how good the cotija cheese was in this dish. I'm so glad I took the time to seach it out in the grocery store. Thanks for a delicious recipe! Read More

I liked it. Something different to do with chicken. I also added a few dashes of hot sauce (Tapitio) to the tomato sauce for a bit more flavor. Also added garlic powder to the chicken while browning on top of the stove. Fast and easy. Read More

4.8 stars. This recipe is so simple to make yet the flavors are just so strong and quite satisfying. I saved the sauce to make quesadillas later. This is restaurant quality. Read More
