This was delicious. I tweaked a couple of things like adding a tad more salsa than it called for and just a little less cheese. I would make it again and again...

I just made this today and it was great. The portion size for the calories was more then enough.

This was super easy, and my husband and I loved it. He was still talking about it the next day. I used leftover rotisserie chicken, which saved even more time. I added some jalapeno peppers for extra heat. The only problem was it was so good, my husband and I ate the entire four serving recipe, so it didn't exactly save us any calories, lol.
