no taco seasoning – used cumin/ chili Garlic olive oil & onions. Used left over chicken
I have made this many times and it is now one of our favorites . I do use more chicken than recommended but otherwise everything was as the recipe stated. I used two large chicken breasts , about a pound. This makes 4 meals. You could add rice for a very filling meal. Terrific.
We are dominicans but my daughter loves to try Mexican food , she saids It was delicious I didn’t used the taco season because I don’t used those types of season I just add garlic salt and pepper and a lil o oregano. And I didn’t have the Mexican cheese I used cheddar. But it came out pretty good , I ate with tacos .
I make this dish but my family likes cheese, so I add 1/2 cup extra cheese, mixed in before the bake and1/3 cup diced green onion, sliced avocado and dollops of sour cream on top after it comes out of the oven. Drool Central
I liked it but won’t make it again. Thank you for the recipe!! 🙂
I definitely would take Dele Peterson’s recommendations about the Mexican Rice to serve it with if not add to the casserole, and totally agree about more Salsa and add chipoltle sauce, but I like spicy Mexican food. This is a great start for a Mexican casserole, but needs some tweeks. Thanks Dele for your comments, I agree.
Family approved. I didn’t have chips so I used corn tortillas and layered them like individual lasagnas (enchiladas). Delicious. I topped it off with fresh cilantro
Very good recipe.. quick and easy.. going to do this again but with carnitas. I did my recipe in a cast iron skillet to save on dishes but also for the flavor. Highly recommend it
Great easy recipe. I added cooked rice and used a pre cooked chicken and doubled the amount of salsa. So yummy!
Not a fan even after using other user’s suggestions. This recipe is not like a casserole at all. I used it as filling for tacos and that was great!
I substituted a can of Ranch Style beans for the black beans & used Nacho Cheese Doritos in place of tortilla chips. More flavor. I also add cumin for more taco flavor which I always do to any recipe calling for taco seasoning.
Loved This recipe! Changed it a bit after reading some reviews. Thank you for a great family dinner.
no changes we like it just the way it is
I liked it but Next time I will use Corn chips. 🙂
I used leg quarters and chopped it up because that’s what was in the freezer. It was delicious.
Very good. Whole family likes it. Next time I’ll use corn chips for more flavor. Added a can of green chilis.
I took the advice of adding an onion and garlic cloves. I eye balled the water and added a 16 ounce jar of Walmart brand salsa. I used “On the Border” chips. Added a whole frozen (12oz) bag of corn. It’s delicious and has a kick to it. I will definitely be making this in the future.
This recipe is quick, simple and can be modified many different ways. I added extra black beans and left out the corn and it was still super tasty and kid friendly, which is important.
I also did a lot of innovating. I usually keep black beans in my pantry but today I was out so I subbed garbanzos. Also decided to add some corn meal mix on top like my mom used to do, instead of tortillas. Finally, I like to make my own spice mix which today consisted of ancho chile pepper, cayenne, chipotle and cumin. Also chopped up some pickled jalapeños. Yum!
Instead of adding water I added a little extra salsa. My husband loved it and had a second helping.
Delicious!! My kids loved it. I added a garlic and onions while cooking the chicken, along with salt and pepper. Also, I bought medium salsa to give it a kick. Yum! I will make again.
