When I make this, I use Enchilida sauce instead of taco sauce. Love the taste!

Saw the recipe on the back of the cheese package. I followed the recipe but added chopped cilantro, low sodium taco seasoning, and cayenne pepper (for more heat) to my chicken mixture. Soooo good! My boyfriend loved it as well. I'll add black olives and may try diced tomatoes next time. I don't even like Mexican food, but this ROCKS!

I made this recipe when I was desperate for something different and I was VERY pleasantly surprised! My 6 year old, who eats basically nothing, even enjoyed this recipe - although I did substitute the chicken for ground beef because it was what I had on hand. Definitely a keeper recipe in my house :-)

Turned out very good. Probably would add some refried beans, tomatoes, Black Olives, AND Maybe crush some dorito chips and put it on top after baking. So many variations, experiments, and modifications you can make to this dish, and not have to worry about goofing it up. Awesome recipe.

My three boys went back for 3rds! I used Rotel instead of Salsa.I may also use fajita spice on chicken next time.

We used 10 flour tortillas and it turned out great. Would make this again for an easy weeknight meal.

I made this receipe for the first time for company. We all loved it! It is packed full of flavor, and it is easy to make. One note - I used whole wheat flour tortillas instead of corn ones, and I also only used about 8 tortillas instead of 12. Love it!

This recipe was super easy. The most time consuming thing for me was thawing the chicken because I didn't plan ahead. I didn't have any green pepper, but know I would like that in it too. I guess we're pigs because 8 servings was only 4 for us. ;-) This will be a regular for our dinner recipes. Topped with more sour cream when served, and next time I plan to add sliced black olives. Served with tortilla chips on the side.
