We really liked this. We used our favorite spicy salsa, added some corn and cilantro and it was super yummy. Leftovers did not last long.

Absolutely delicious! I used ground beef (ground chicken never seems appetizing to me) I added 1 pkg. taco seasoning instead of the cumin and added 1 cup of sour cream to the final mixture. Wow! I will definitely be making this again! Thank you so much for this delicious concoction.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my little ones even though I used mild salsa. It is a bit heavy but great for a family that doesn't mind the spice especially on a cold winter night when the family is really hungry. If I make it again I will use 1/2 the salsa it calls for and subsitute water to make up the difference.

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe, although I used ground turkey instead of chicken. It tasted great and there were plenty of leftovers, so I'd definitely make it again!

we really enjoyed this meal. i added corn to it, so that my picky eater would try it. I also made cheese quesadillas so I could stretch the meal. this meal feeds more than the suggested 6 servings. So I would deffinitly make this one again.
