Kraft Kitchens Tips

Shortcut

To quick-thaw frozen corn, microwave for about half the cooking time specified on the package.

Keeping it Safe

Thaw chicken in the refrigerator, allowing 5 hours per pound of chicken. Never thaw chicken at room temperature due to the risk of bacterial growth.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of this. I had only long grain rice so maybe that is why it wasn't as good. I would skip this one unless you really like rice. It was also pretty bland even with hot and spicy taco seasoning.

Wonderful recipe! I don't know which to rave about more the spicy, great flavor or how quick and easy this was to make. It reheated perfectly for lunch the next day. Will absolutely be one of our regulars!

I love this recipe! So easy and quick. I use a whole can of beans and leave out the corn. Also use regular Velveeta and a can of diced green chiles. Even my picky son loves it!

Quick and delicious. I used canned corn instead of frozen. A quick meal.

This turned out perfect. I didn't have any black beans, so I just left them out, and I used canned corn instead of frozen. I served them with sour cream, Cholula sauce and tortilla chips, and I will definitely make this again. Delicious!

I HAVE COOKED THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES. I LIKE TO ADD DRAINED ROTEL TOMATOES. IT ADDS JUST A LITTLE MORE KICK AND FLAVOR.

My husband isn't a fan of beans so I didn't use them. Maybe if we would've I would be more of a fan of this recipe. It wasn't that flavorful and great enough to make again. Although I must say very easy and cheap to make!
