Have you tried this recipe?!
RATE and COMMENT below! I would love to hear your experience.
I originally shared this recipe February 2014. Updated August 2020.
The taste was excellent. I didn’t care much for the texture of the tortillas; they were pretty soggy. What can I do to remedy that next time?
Your Instagram video looked like you were using flour tortillas. Does either type work in this recipe?
Flour tortillas will work great!
LOVE this meal – easy to make and DELICIOUS!
We loved this meal! Every single one of us, even my little gobbled it up. So good! Thanks for a new Taco 🌮 Tuesday recipe!
Lauren,
So glad I found your site!
I have been cataloging recipes for years in Master Cook, and yours are easy to follow, easy to make and delicious! Love the cream of anything soup recipe!
Can I make this with ground beef instead of chicken?
Yes, of course!
Just made this tonight with ground beef and it turned out great! Very happy to have come across this recipe. The whole family enjoyed it. 🙂
A total winner! The whole family loved it and bonus that it was so easy!
Loved this recipe! Definitely a keeper!
I absolutely love mexican-inspired food, and yah, I feel your pain, it’s sometimes SO hard to take a photo of something that doesn’t look that bad in real life, but somehow the moment you take a photo of it it turns into a blob!
