I am OBSESSED with this recipe! It was so easy to put together - and after working all day easy is exactly what I'm looking for! I ended up using 10 inch flour tortillas b/c I don't care for the corn tortillas and just used 3 cut in half. It worked out just as good and was so delicious! (Serving suggestion - throw some sour cream on top when you serve it!!)

Quick and easy. I only had 4 oz. of cheese so sub'd shredded cheese for the remainder. It was delicious!!

This is oh so delicious! I put all of the salsa in the mixture instead of saving some for on top, but we love salsa. We also use flour tortillas and I cut them in quarters. I always double it, cause the leftovers are just as good.

I only had regular Velveeta so I put a small can of green chilies in with the chicken when I was cooking it and also seasoned the chicken with some taco seasoning. I only had hot salsa, too, so I was a little worried that it'd be too spicy but it was just right (my family and I enjoy spicy foods, though). My husband, who is very picky, absolutely loved it. Very easy to make. I will definitely be making this again!

This was my first time to prepare this dish. My husband who is a very picky eater gave it a rave review. Will double next time as he requested more.

My grandson who is a very picker eater just raved about this dish the first time I made it. All the rest of us liked it too. I have made it several times since. It is so easy to make.

Great as an entree or an appetizer. Very flavorful. I used the low fat, low sodium soup and fat free tortillas...with great results.

LOVE IT! kind of spicy. i loved it though. i used regular velveeta and it was still kind of spicy for my littlest one! i added corn and black beans to make it more than just a "cheesy queso" dip. it was great! i added also sliced grape tomatoes, lettuce and sour cream on top. I will make it again.
