I made this with beef and it was great. Threw in some broccoli too. My daughter loved this and so did hubby. They both ate the leftovers which is very rare. This is definitely going on our monthly menu.

I have made this a few times. Even my picky kids love it.

My boyfried loved it, I thought it needed a little more flavor due to the fact it was to liquidy. Great combination of ingrediants minus the chicken broth, not sure why it was needed, I will probably skip it next time. The cilantro was a little to strong in the dish too. Overall good, will make again with a few minor changes.

My husband loved this recipe. I added a can of corn and a layer of refried beans, and it was a hit! My mother even took it to a work lunch and had no leftovers!

It was good. The sauce was runny but good. I used 1/2 the amt. of garlic because we are not big fans, but then that wasn't enough. Next time I will use the suggested amt.
