This is YUMMY!!! Very easy to make. My husband loved it and put this on his "A" list. I will make it again.

This was easy to do and yummy. I suggest adding black beans and having a fresh lime to squeeze on at the end along with cilantro. A little bit of sour cream on top was great, too.

What a great, easy meal! This appealed to my whole family and was very easy to make. I didn't have frozen corn on hand so I used a can of corn that I rinsed and it worked perfectly.

I felt it was missing something and my husband and children did not finish before opening the fridge looking for something else to eat.

When I saw this in the magazine, I knew I had to make it. So glad I did! It was really good and will make again. Everyone loved it. Make sure to use your favorite salsa.

Being from India, I like to spice up every recipe. So when cooking the chicken I sauted 1/4 of a large onion with it and added taco seasoning which really took the flavor over the top. I also deleted the pasta just to save some carbohydrate calories. It was sooo good even without the pasta. My 2yo loved it and so did my "amazing cook" husband

This was a big hit with my fiance and daughter. My fiance liked it because it was very similar to Mexican foods(which he likes) and my daughter, well she liked the pasta.

I have not made this yet but the recipe reminds me of Slow-Cooker Tex-Mex Chicken. And that is one of my family's favorites. So I am sure they will love this too.

This was so plain. I didn't care for this at all.
