Fabulous recipe! I've made it several times and everyone loves it, even my fussy kids. I have made it with both regular salsa and green salsa(tomatillos). The tomatillo version is my fav. Thanks!

Delicious! Wonderful flavor and quick to put together. Good for you--black beans and chicken. I added 4 stalks of celery, chopped, and had to saute longer--about 10 minutes because of the celery. I also added chopped black olives and green onions after it came out of the oven. This freezes well, too. Made for Fall PAC.

Yum! I used canned turkey and flour tortillas and was afraid they would ruin it, but it was great! I can't wait to try it with the chicken and corn tortillas. It was pretty easy to put together too. Great recipe!

Love this and so does everyone I serve it to. Was a bit short on leftover chicken so I added a can of corn to stretch it. Black olives, avocado, sour cream (or yoghurt) topping. Just yummy.
