This recipe is awesome! It's quick, easy, and very delicious. If your version doesn't have much taste, try a spicier salsa. I also add a can of kidney beans to jazz it up and add fiber. You can't go wrong with this one-skillet meal.

I wouldn't make this again. The corn gave it an odd texture and the meal as a whole had little flavor unike what we had expected.

Just awful. Very bad for you. I cannot believe people continue to make this!!! Obviously, you cannot cook very well if you think this constitutes a good meal!

The recipe was very good and quick. I added 1 1/2 teaspoons of Cumin to it to give it a little more flavor. The cheesyeness is perfect.
